set aside in the 1999 adopted budget. However, as employees began to assess how the plan would
affect them,several concerns surfaced.To address those very real concerns,a recommendation was
presented to Council for full implementation ofthe Pay Plan in 1999. The estimated cost at that time
for full implementation was approximately $3.2 million for the General Fund and those funds that
have employees subsidized by the General Fund.The decision made by Council was to phase-in the
implementation of the City Pay Plan over a two-year period(1999 and 2000).
