In accordance with City policy, an annual survey is conducted to set City pay ranges at the
market 70th percentile. This was completed and the results reported to City Council in
December 2000. On January 2, 2001, Council adopted on Second Reading Ordinance No. 191,
2000, adopting the 2001 Classified Employees Pay and Classification Plan. This plan outlines
the pay structure, at the 70th percentile, for all classified positions. Appropriations to cover the
updated market rates were included in the 2001 budget appropriations approved by Council,
except for a portion of the Police Services Pay Plan. It was noted that a supplemental
appropriation would be necessary in 2001 to cover the Pay and Classification Plan as it applied
to Police Services. Ordinance No. 30, 2001 is the supplemental appropriation of available
General Fund revenues in the amount of$1,687,389.
