ALAN DOERSCHEL, Finance Director; VIKI WITSCHGER,
Administrative Services Director; KATHY ROHLENA, Personnel
Analyst; LUCY LAUTERBACH, Council Analyst; JANE CANTU, City
Clerk.
Viki Witschger, Administrative Services Director, updated the Council that
the Compensation Study completed for the non represented employees had
been reviewed by the Advisory Group, comments submitted by employees
had been considered and all documentation had been forwarded to the
Mayor's office.
Witschger presented an overview of the purpose and philosophy; the
position description questionnaire (PDQ); the process used in the
classification description development; the decision band method (DBM)
process; and some of the implementation impacts that may occur if in fact
this plan is implemented.
Responding to a question posed by a Councilmember regarding the non
represented employees' views of the plan, Witschger said overall the non-
represented employees were unhappy with the study.
Councilmember Carter, Advisory Board member, clarified that the survey
was not reflective of surveys done in the past where it was a mere market
analysis. This study presented a complete change in the way positions are
related to each other -not by position description, but by classification.
Additionally, employees were concerned that this plan completely
eliminated the COLA; and there was no clear definition of the performance
evaluation system. She said it was clear to her that the non represented
employees would rather retain the system currently in place.
