Teresa Roche, Chief Human Resources Officer
SUBJECT
Second Reading of Ordinance No. 019, 2017, Adopting the 2017 Amended Classified Employees Pay Plan to
Update Classified Positions as Provided in the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Fraternal Order of
Police.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Ordinance, unanimously adopted on First Reading on January 17, 2017, amends City's Classified
Employee Pay Plan based on a market analysis conducted as agreed upon through the 2016-2017 Collective
Bargaining Agreement with the Northern Colorado Lodge #3 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). This
agreement was approved by Council by Resolution 2015-104, on December 1, 2015. Although ratified in 2015,
the bargaining agreement specifies a salary data collection method and evaluation process that included the
postponement of final data collection and analysis until January 2017 when additional benchmark data became
available. This data has been collected and analyzed, resulting in the revised 2017 Classified Employee Pay
Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on Second Reading.

SUBJECT
First Reading of Ordinance No. 019, 2017, Adopting the 2017 Amended Classified Employees Pay Plan to
Update Classified Positions as Provided in the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the Fraternal Order of
Police.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to recommend changes to the City's Classified Employee Pay Plan based on a
market analysis conducted as agreed upon through the 2016-2017 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the
Northern Colorado Lodge #3 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). This agreement was approved by Council
by Resolution 2015-104, on December 1, 2015. Although ratified in 2015, the bargaining agreement specifies a
salary data collection method and evaluation process that included the postponement of final data collection
and analysis until January 2017 when additional benchmark data became available. This data has been
collected and analyzed, resulting in the revised 2017 Classified Employee Pay Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading.
BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION
The City of Fort Collins utilizes a common compensation methodology to assess jobs, combine them into
occupational groups and establish pay range structures. The result of this work is a Classified Employee Pay
Plan which sets the minimum, midpoint and maximum of pay ranges within each occupational group. A
detailed analysis of benchmark data is conducted each year to determine if the market has moved sufficiently
to recommend structure adjustments. Council approved the 2017 Pay Plan in December, 2016, with the
understanding that an amended plan would be presented in January once data for police collective bargaining
unit positions was available.
Council approved an agreement by Resolution 2015-104, on December 1, 2015, between the City and the
Northern Colorado Lodge #3 of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) establishing the 2016-2017 Collective
Bargaining Agreement. The bargaining agreement specified a salary data collection method and evaluation
process that included the postponement of the final data collection and analysis until January 2016 when
additional benchmark data became available. This analysis included collecting actual salary data for police
positions from 13 identified benchmark municipalities.
The analysis resulted in the following recommended Pay Plan Structure adjustments:
Police Officer, 3.04%
Police Corporal, 3.04%
Police Sergeant, 3.51%
Police Lieutenant, 4.11%
Community Service Officer, 3.04%
Community Service Officer Supervisor, 3.04%

Item # 9 Page 2
Emergency Services Dispatcher, 4.80%

Actual employee salary increases are determined administratively and will be implemented using existing
Police Services resources and the Council adopted employee pay increase budget.

positions that are modified due to changes in job duties within the approved pay structure based
