Item No. 25 <br />Memorandum <br />TO: Mayor, Mayor Pro -Tem & City Council <br />Grayson Path, City Manager <br />FROM: Thomas McMonigle, Fire Chief <br />SUBJECT: AMENDMENT TO CITY ORDINANCE 6.02.004 <br />DATE: February 17, 2023 <br />BACKGROUND: While implementing the Comparable Pay Study in previous budget years, the <br />city council streamlined the seniority pay across all ranks with each rank having the same <br />number of steps and each step being the same dollar amount. The new steps are based on years <br />of service in the current rank as opposed to the former system of total years of service to the <br />Department. Phase 1 of these steps was approved in the 2021-2022 Budget, with the second and <br />final phase being approved in the 2022-2023 Budget. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: The 2022-2023 Budget was approved with the second and final phase of <br />these steps for seniority in rank approved. This change was effective October 1, 2022. Civil <br />Service requires that this change be put in place through ordinance. <br />BUDGET: The cost to implement this change is included in the approved budget for 2022-2023. <br />No additional costs will be incurred. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Amend the ordinance to reflect the requested changes. <br />
