Staff recommends that the Council approve the revisions to compensation and other benefits for confidential
mid -management employees.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total long term annual cost of the proposed agreement is $260,000, The total
cost of the term of the agreement is $670,000 as shown below.
APPROVED: Steve Schwabauer
Stephen Schwabauer, City Manager
Fiscal Year 2022/23 $ 47,500
Fiscal Year 2023/24
$140,000
Fiscal Year 2024/25
$222,500
Fiscal Year 2025/26
$ 260,000
Total Cost 3 ears
$ 670,000
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Budget adjustments for these and other compensation increases for City
employees may be needed at Mid Year Fiscal Year 2022/23. Vacancy savings
are the first source for funding the increases for this and future employee contract
changes in the coming Fiscal Year. These savings have been significant in the
past three years allowing the City to build up substantial reserves. These reserves
may be necessary to finance a portion of salary increases. Staff will first seek to
prioritize Pension Stabilization Reserves held at PARS to pay eligible pension
costs in order to preserve locally held economic and catastrophic reserves should
actual reserves be needed. Staff will seek Council input prior to any use of
reserves.
