These recommendations are valid if the single salary schedule is adopted otherwise the
recommendation will be on the Z schedule.
• To better align the salaries of these department heads with the salaries of the existing City
department heads
• To make salaries more competitive with a two year old salary survey of comparable
Cities.
• Additional duties for the City Clerk (i.e. agenda and council packet preparation,
assistance with public information officer responsibilities).

be reclassified to a lower grade with no loss in salary. This recommendation is made only if
there is only one salary schedule; otherwise the grade will remain the same.
