Discuss the Purpose of the Committee
Ms. Roche reviewed the PowerPoint presentation sent to Councilmembers ahead of time, sharing the
purpose of this meeting and the purpose of the committee. Councilmember Pignataro asked if the
committee could decide whether they should continue in an ad hoc fashion, conduct regular meetings,
or dissolve the committee. This led to a discussion that also included questions about FAMLI and City
employee benefits. Councilmember Ohlson expressed interest in learning more about the process for
determining the budget for City employee compensation. Ms. Roche suggested July or August would
make sense for the next meeting to have a presentation on the mechanics of employee compensation
and to discuss any items related to the annual reviews of Council’s direct reports. It was recommended
that the Committee meet as needed, and current plans are to have one additional meeting this year
unless something changes.
Elect a Chairperson
Councilmember Ohlson nominated Councilmember Pignataro as chair. Councilmember Potyondy
seconded the nomination. Councilmember Pignataro was unanimously elected Chairperson.
Outline Potential Topics for Discussion and Calendar
Virtual meetings on Thursdays at 4:00 pm were identified as the preference for future meetings. The
next meeting will likely be in July or August, depending on calendars, with the primary topics of
employee compensation and direct report annual reviews.
The meeting was adjourned at 4:38 p.m.
Next Meeting: To be scheduled in July or August.
