Hansley, City Manager / r~°9-~i Attached Ordinance No. 43-97 l Mazch 11, 1997 David L. Hazding, Director of Human Resources & Procurement Attached for your consideration is Ordinance No. 43-97 amending certain sections of Ordinance No. 98-96 ("Compensation Plan") and authorizing certain wage adjustments for certain job classifications. Council will recall that prior to the completion of the Classification & Compensation Study and the subsequent adoption of Ordinance No. 98-96 ("Compensation Plan") in the Fall of 1996, the United Steel Workers Union (USW) filed a "Request for Recognition" with the State Employment Relations Boazd (SERB) seeking representation of employees within the Service Department. The composition of the proposed bargaining unit was not cleazly defined by the USW but appeazed to include employees within the Maintenance Worker, Maintenance Crew Leader, Sign Worker, Automotive Mechanic, and Auto Service Worker job classifications. Given the fact that the recognition request had been filed with SERB prior to the completion of the Study and adoption of the new Compensation Plan, the City's labor counsel (Mr. Weisman) advised the City not to implement any changes to the compensation structure for job classifications which appeazed to be part of the proposed bazgaining unit, as such could be interpreted by SERB as an unfair labor practice. Thus, those job classifications were specifically excluded from Ordinance No. 98-96, pending a final ruling regarding composition of the proposed unit. The City filed objections to the composition of the proposed bargaining unit with SERB and a hearing was eventually scheduled for March 5, 1997 to address the issue of unit composition. Mr. Weisman and Mr. Harding attended this hearing together with representatives from the USW, and as a result of this hearing, the Maintenance Crew Leader and Automotive Mechanic II classifications have been declared exempt from the proposed bargaining unit. As a result, Stafi'is therefore recommending that certain amendments be made to certain Sections of Ordinance No. 98-96 and that certain actions be taken regarding the adjustments of wage rates for employees within the Maintenance Crew Leader and Automotive Mechanic II classifications. These recommendations include the following: - To amend, retroactive to December 8, 1996, Section 2 ("WAGE & SALARY STRUCTUREJADMINISTRATION"), Subsection 2.A. by adopting new pay grades for Page 2 the Maintenance Crew Leader and Automotive Mechanic II classifications, as identified within the Classification & Compensation Study completed by Public Administration Service in September 1996. (The Study had recommended that these two job classifications be assigned to pay grade 5, which has a pay range of $26,465 - $39,698.) - To authorize, retroactive to December 8, 1996, the same 5% "technical adjustment" for employees within the Maintenance Crew Leader and Automotive Mechanic II classifications as was received by other non union employees effective December 8, 1996. ""~" - To authorize, effective upon the date the attached legislation legally takes effect, employees within the Maintenance Crew Leader and Automotive Mechanic II classifications to begin receiving the benefit increases adopted by Ordinance No. 98-96. These include increases in Vacation Accrual, Longevity Pay, Life Insurance, and Tuition Reimbursement. (To authorize such benefits retroactive to December 8, 1996 would either be impractical or impossible.) It should be emphasized that Staff is recommending retroactivity in both the adoption of pay grades and the "technical adjustment" for these classifications for the reason that Staff believes it demonstrates good faith on the part of the City and is truly in the best interest of the City from a Labor/Employee Relations standpoint. (Had the Union issue not intervened when it did, the City would have implemented the ranges and the wage adjustment for these classifications December 8, 1996, as it did for other non-union personnel.) The attached legislation contains one other proposed amendment, which is of a "housekeeping" nature. Staff is proposing that the "Facility Supervisor" classification title and pay grade be deleted from Section 2, subsection 2.A. of Ordinance 98-96. No personnel are presently assigned to this classification and Staff does not believe there will be a need for this classification in the future. Staff therefore recommends the deletion of this classification title and pay grade from Ordinance No. 98- 96. TCH/DLH/kst Attachment t~e~«~.~i+~~s m
