APPROVE INCREASE IN NON UNION WAGES
Propo'"'c.'d A{'tion
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: MOVf~ orrmv;11 of >I 1 % inrr('>I<;:f' in
th~ ~llrr~nt non llnion W>l8P ,,-chf'nlllp
This action will bring the wages of non union employees more in line with those of union employees.
Ovprview
Non union employees received a 2.5% wage increase on January 1, 2000. This was the budgeted amount
for wage increases. Since that time contracts have been settled with four unions. (The police officer's
association has approved a settlement. The contract will be brought to the City Council at the July 18
Council meeting.) Union wage increases for 2000 range between 3.8% and 7%.
In order to keep non union wages in line with union wage increases, I am proposing an additional 1 %
increase in non union wages effective July 1, 2000.
