D BY: Director of Person
he negotiation process, ff d discussed
Officer from five to three. xamination of
1982-83, and an improved method of handling
e, it is my
RECOMMENDATION: That Council adopt the resolution.
BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: N/A
(4/5ths Vote: Yes No~)
reducing the number of steps for
this proposal indicated no additional
pay increases for Traffic Officers.
DISCUSS ON: Based on Police Department records, it takes a total of 13.8 years for
Traffic Officers working the average rate of 300 hours per year to reach their top
step. he maximum number o~ hours that could be worked during any one year is 500,
and if n individual worked, the maximum number of hours they would reach "E" step
in 122 ears.. To encourage', individuals to stay on as Traffic Officers, we wish to
have a ealistic pay schedule that allows these individuals to progress through the
steps a d reach their maximlam pay potential at a time that reflects full competence
in the 'ob. We feel 12-13 ,years is in excess of the time it takes to develop competence.
~~hi reason, we are proposing a three-step pay plan with the same top and bottom
s a contained in the five-step plan.
If this plan were adopted, implementation would include the movement of individuals to
the new step plan as they aichieved the required number of hours in their current
step. his would mean that instead of automatically receiving the normal 5% increase
when an individual acquired the necessary hours, they would receive: approximately 5%
if the were moving up from'"B" or "D" step under the old plan or approximately 10%
if the were moving up from,"A" or "C" step under the old plan.
Curren ly there are 18 traffic officers. There are four at "E" step who will not
be aff cted by this change.'. There are six at "B" step and one at "D" step who will
receiv their normal 5% inc''~,rease when they are eligible for their next step increase.
The re aining seven employees will receive a 10% increase when they become eligible
for th it next step, but no',ne of these will be eligible for an increase during 1982-83
if nor al assignments are ma intained. Increases will still be a minimum of over two
years part.
FISCAL IMPACT: There will 'be some additional cost of implementing this plan in future
years approximately X615 i',n 1983-84), but no increase in budget would be required since
the to al amount currently 'budgeted is based on "E" step.
