Proposed Resolution
Establishing a
Compensation Policy
for the City
Resolution #992
Adopting annexation
policies
MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY PHELPS, THAT THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION BE READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.
City Attorney Haney read a resolution of the City Council of
Tukwila, Washington, establishing a compensation policy for
the City of Tukwila.
MOVED BY PHELPS, SECONDED BY HARRIS, THAT THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION BE ADOPTED AS READ.*
Councilman Bauch noted that the Resolution establishing a
Compensation Policy was referred back to Council from the
Finance and Personnel Committee; it wasn't unanimous. He
referred to Section 2 and said that the 2nd Quartile is a
high average. Generally, the people coming to the city are
in the younger range of experience and they should be paid in
the lower range. Most of the people come here for training,
they leave after 3 or 4 years because there are no advance-
ment possibilities. The upper levels are filled. If we are
going to pay at the high range (75) we are throwing money
away. We should pay 33% to 50% of what the market is paying.
Council Member Phelps said that all though promotional oppor-
tunities are limited and probably will continue to be
limited, the 2nd Quartile is justified because we should be
recruiting the best employees we can for the time they are
with the City.
Council Member Harris noted that a goodly number of appli-
cants are overqualified for the position they are applying
for. These are the ones that would be leaving. They apply
because they are out of work. It is not salaries that would
keep them; they leave because there is no place to move up
to. We have paid quite well.
Councilman Simpson said Tukwila is in a progressive mood, and
we are better off to be in the upper average. We want to get
the best people we can.
Council Member Morgan said the language is vague in Section
3. Where is the comparable market? It should be defined
clearly. If you talk about the major demographic charac-
teristics of the City which influence what the wage level
ought to be, and then say that you will seek markets which
share those comparable characteristics; I don't mind saying
we strive for a standard somewhere above average. I am not
sure that it isn't appropriate for people to move on. Moving
on provides professional growth and broader experience and is
a very healthy kind of movement.
MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY HARRIS, TO AMEND SECTION 2 BY
STRIKING THE WORDS "TO UPPER AVERAGE (2ND QUARTILE)" SO IT
READS "SHOULD REFLECT AVERAGE COMPENSATION AMONG VARIOUS
EMPLOYMENT MARKETS..." MOTION FAILED.
*MOVED BY SIMPSON, SECONDED BY MORGAN, THAT THE MOTION BE
AMENDED TO SEND THE PROPOSED RESOLUTION BACK TO THE FINANCE
AND PERSONNEL COMMITTEE. MOTION CARRIED WITH BAUCH VOTING
NO
MOVED BY BAUCH, SECONDED BY SIMPSON, THAT THE PROPOSED
RESOLUTION ADOPTING ANNEXATION POLICIES, DATED 3 -3 -86, BE
READ BY TITLE ONLY. MOTION CARRIED.
