Director1s Reports:
'1. Director reported on commencement of a review of Pay Plan structure and stated
that he was not prepared to give a definite proposal to the Board at this
meeting but stated that a memo had been sent out to all department directors ..
and to Presidents of the three employee organizations asking for their written
comments within a two week period, if they had any, on the application' of the
pay plan promotion rules. Some comments were received and a meeting was
scheduled on February 5th to discuss the promotion rule and any pay plan
inequities. Those who attended were those persons who had specifically provided
us with a written complaint, of which we had several from the police and fire
deparbments. The meeting was held and four basic concerns seemed to end up as
consensus of the group. (1) 5% increase on promotion is not sufficient.because
after deductions it is only about .2% (2) Status of longevity pay is misunder-
stood (3) The effect of employees who serve different amounts of time before
promotion creates inequities (4) Sep,arate provision within the total pay plan
