5. Wage and Salary Increases
A3es — all.
a. Manager Evans stated he would recommend an agreement he has reached with the
two AFSCME locals (Clerical— Technical and Maintenance). The basic provisions
are:
1. A 9.5% increase
2. An increase of $10 in the monthly payments for dental and medical insurance
(makes maximum $85.)
3. Employees who work on Christmas, Thanksgiving and New Years would receive
premium pay of double time rather than time and a half.
4. In the case of an employee assigned for more than z a day to higher classifi-
cation that employee shall receive the starting pay for that position with
minimum of 58¢ per hour differential.
b. Councilman Anderson moved to accept the 1981 AFSCME Contracts for Clerical
Technical and the Maintenance Units as recommended by the Manager.
Seconded by Councilman Bastian. Ayes — Councilperson Juker, Council-
men Anderson, Bastian and
Nelson.
Nays — Mayor Greavu.
C. Manager Evans stated in addition I would recommend the same percentage increase
for all non —union personnel, as well as the same increased insurance payments.
Last year I recommended 1/2% less for non —union personnel, but this year I feel
they should receive the same increase. Their performance has been uniformly
excellent, and I am of the belief that they are deserving of the proposed increase.
It should also be pointed out that the police sergeants are included in the non-
union provisions. However, informal discussions are usually held with them based
on settlements in the 320 contract. Since 320 is some time away from settlement,
I may later recommend some slight modifications as it relates to them.
Finally, I believe that the Finance Director should be given some recognition
for the attainment by the City of the Certificate of Conformance issued by the
Municipal Finance Officers' Association. This is a unique award, and I feel the
City should respond affirmatively. Consequently, I recommend that he receive
an additional $500 per year.
d. Councilman Nelson moved the 9.5% salary increase for all non —union personnel
as well as the same increased insurance payments as recommended by the Manager.
Seconded by Councilman Anderson.
Councilman Bastian moved that for non —union personnel the salary increase be 9.51
for the first $20,000 of salary and 5% for anything above $20,000.
