[Council Communication] [Amended 2002-22 Resolution] [Salary Schedule]

Council Communication

Title:	Amendment to Resolutions 2002-22 and 2003-24 amending the pay schedule for Elected Officials.
Dept:	Administration
Date:	September 2, 2003
Submitted By:	Tina Gray, Administrative Services/HR Manager
Approved By: ...........................	Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator Paul Nolte, City Attorney

Synopsis:	An error was discovered in the calculation of the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for Elected Officials effective on July 1, 2002, which subsequently resulted in an error in the calculation for the COLA on July 1, 2003. Upon investigation and recalculation, adjustments are necessary to the salaries of the City Recorder and Municipal Judge to accurately conform to the City Charter.
Recommendation:	Staff recommends that Council adopt the amended Resolutions authorizing staff to make the appropriate adjustments to the salary for the City Recorder and Municipal Judge in accordance with the provisions set forth in the City Charter.
Fiscal Impact:	Retroactive pay will be necessary to "catch-up" the Elected Officials. From July 1, 2002 through July 1, 2003, the City Recorder and Municipal Judge should receive an additional .63%. From July 1, 2003 through present an additional .22%.
Background:	Article III, Section 3., of the Ashland City Charter calls for the salary of Elected Officials to be adjusted upward "in the same percentage as the average salary adjustments of the other supervisory employees and department heads of the city of Ashland." On July 1, 2002, the average salary adjustment was miscalculated, and retroactive pay is necessary to eliminate the cumulative impact of the error.
Attachments:	A revised salary schedule is attached reflecting the new salary range for Elected Officials after catch-up.
