Agenda Item Summary:
The current AFSCME Contract obligated the City to complete a wage study. The request was made because the existing scale coupled various positions within the organization. These ties were made for various historical reasons and were no longer based on market conditions for the positions.

The City contracted with an outside firm to complete this study in 2023. The firm completed the data gathering but was unable to propose a new wage scale. The firm continued to suggest minor modifications of the existing scale instead of ensuring wage ranges that were market driven.

The Human Resources Department took the data and collaborated with the AFSCME Union leadership to establish the proposed wage ranges. The ranges are data driven, ensure competitive wages and seek to honor both the employees and the taxpayers. The AFSCME Union voted to approve the wage ranges on April 19, 2024.
