Title
APPROVING THE 2017 COMPENSATION PLAN
Background
The authorizing resolution provides for a mileage rate of 54.0 cents per mile, or until a new rate is established by the IRS.
The attached document approving the 2017 Compensation Plan provides a 3.0% wage adjustment for non-union personnel.
There is an amendment to this compensation plan which recognizes important additional duties performed by a small number of employees. In one case it has to do with providing adequate daytime certified fire response personnel and in the other it recognizes a leadership team that has an ongoing responsibility to make sure that our response to disasters is always contemplated and perfected and that the staff that will be called upon to help are ready.
Section IV. Insurance.
Non-union employees participate in the LOGIS Health Care Program. The 2017 City contribution will be $1,140 per month for all full-time employees to purchase benefits under the City’s cafeteria plan.
Section VI. Holidays.
Blaine City Code provides for nine paid holidays, one floating holiday, and one floating holiday to be designated by the City Manager. The City Manager's designated holiday for non-union personnel for 2017 is November 24th.
The number of holidays for non-union employees is consistent with the police and public works employees.
Recommendation
By motion, adopt the resolution approving the 2017 Compensation Plan for all non-union employees.
