Mayor ro em atteson, ALL AYES, to approve Account 4110, Council,
General Fund Expenditures in the amount of $16,500.
City Manager (4120)
Line Item 110 - Finance Director Schwab advised Line Items 110 and 142
reflect a proposed 7-1/2% salary adjustment for all employees except
the City Manager and paid Health/Life Insurance benefits, including
the City Manager.
Councilwoman Pfennighausen, noting the Budget Message, felt a 7-1/2%
cost of living adjustment could not be justified since the cost of
living index indicates only a 4% increase; favored the paid
Health/Life Insurance benefits; felt cost of living adjustment should
be 4%. Felt it is time for reclassification of some of the employees
who have reached the top of the salary range in their classification.
Mayor Grant and Councilman Petta supported the City Manager's
recommendation, noting the City operates with a minimum number of
employees.
Mr. Schwab, noting the City Manager's Budget Message, advised the
proposed increase was not intended to be a cost of living adjustment;
the wording was inadvertently carried over from last year's budget.
Mayor Grant recommended defining the increase as a 4% cost of living
plus an additional 3-1/2% salary adjustment.
Motion by Councilman Petta, Second by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, to
approve Line Items 110 through 142 for Account 4120, City Manager
General Fund Expenditures in the amount of $79,040, with Line Item 110
defined as a competitive wage adjustment at 7-1/2%.
Councilman Evans and Mayor Pro Tem Matteson voiced support for a 4%
salary increase. The Motion failed, 3-2, with Mayor Grant and
Councilman Petta voting AYE.
5/g4/85
CC-85-112 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Grant, to
approve Personnel Line Items 110 through 142 adjusted to reflect a
5-1/2% salary increase, carried 4-1, with Councilman Evans voting NOE.
Mr. Schwab clarified Line Item 601, Engineering, separated the
Engineering cost for cost accounting purposes. Following discussion
relative to transfering all engineering costs to the City Engineer
Department, it was the consensus of Council that Line Item 601 be
transferred from Account No. 4120 to Account No. 4170, City Engineer.
CC-85-113 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, ALL
AYES, to approve Line Items 210 through 271 of Account 4120, City
Manager, with the deletion of Line Item 601, in the amount of
$35,346. Line Item 601 is to be transferred to Account 4170, City
Engineer.
CC-85-114 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Mayor Pro Tem
Matteson, ALL AYES, to approve Line Items 600 and 700 of Account 4120,
City Manager, as presented.
Recessed at 7:15 p.m. and reconvened at 7:22 p.m. with all present.
City Clerk (4125)
CC-85-115 Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilman Petta, to
approve the Personnel Portion, Line Items 110 thru 142, City Clerk,
reducing the salary increase from 7-1/2% to 5-1/2%, carried 4-1, with
Councilman Evans voting NOE.
Councilman Petta questioned if the City Manager's pay increase will be
addressed. Mayor Grant stated he understood additional information
was to be provided prior to addressing that issue. Mr. Schwab advised
he had understood the City Manager's salary would be negotiated
separately, so no increase was reflected for the City Manager.
Councilman Evans thought the City Manager's salary was being increased
5-1/2%. Councilwoman Pfennighausen stated the intent of her motion
was that the City Manager's salary be increased 5-1/2% just like the
other employees. Councilman Petta stated this is inconsistent, since
the City Manager has not received salary increases at the same level
as the employees in previous years. Felt the City Manager's salary
should not be below that of an Assistant City Manager in other
cities. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson felt the salary is not out of line in
comparison. Mayor Grant stated the survey provided indicated other
employees' salaries are also not comparable with other cities.
CC-85-116 Motion by Councilwoman Pfennighausen, Second by Councilman Evans, that
the City Manager's salary be increased 5-1/2%, carried 3-2, with Mayor
Grant and Councilman Petta voting NOE.

Community Services (4180)
Councilwoman Pfennighausen recommended reclassifying the Community
Services Director's position and increasing the salary to the same
level as the Finance Director. Felt he has equal responsibilities,
and probably a greater work load. Noted he has been assigned duties
previously assigned to the Administrative Assistant. Mayor Grant
stated he felt all employees deserve a 7-1/2% increase, that other
positions also have increased duties, and that none of the present job
descriptions accurately address the present functions. Councilman r-1
Evans concurred with Councilwoman Pfennighausen; Felt the Finance
Director's position may deserve reclassification as well, since he was

also assigned some of the Administrative Assistant's duties.
Councilman Petta, with Mayor Grant concurring, opposed any
reclassification unless done in a professional manner. Mayor Grant
recommended a reclassification study for all personnel.
Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilman Petta, that Council action
taken relating to all budget units relating to salaries be rescinded
until such action can be taken, failed 3-2, with Mayor Grant and
Councilman Petta voting AYE.
Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Matteson, Second by Councilwoman
Pfennighausen, to change the classification of the Community Services
Director to conform with the salary range of the Finance Director.
Councilman Petta felt there is insufficient information to make a
sudden decision on a matter of this importance at this time.
Councilman Evans stated reclassification of the Community Services
Director's position is being considered due to the addition of duties
in 1984. Mayor Pro Tem Matteson called for the Question.
Motion by Mayor Grant, Second by Councilman Petta, that the Call for
the Question be overruled for further discussion, failed 3-2, with
Mayor Grant and Councilman Petta voting AYE.

Director's classification failed 3-2, with Councilwoman Pfennighausen
and Councilman Evans voting AYE.

that was in the past performed by the Administrative Assistant to the
City Manager be removed from his responsibilities.
