Explanation
This ordinance amends the Management Compensation Plan by updating Section 5, Classifications and Assigned Rates of Pay, as a result of Civil Service Commission action and by assigning or adjusting pay grades assigned to new or existing classifications. It is recommended that the pay grade for the classification of Office Manager match the grade assigned in the CMAGE/CWA pay plan; and that the grade assignment to the classification of Crime Laboratory Manager be adjusted from Grade 91 to 93 based on an analysis of relevant market information. Finally, it is recommended that Section 4 be amended, effective April 10, 2005, to reflect a 2% increase in the pay structure to ensure market competitiveness.
Emergency action is proposed in order to immediately effect the Civil Service Commission's actions and to ensure proper levels of compensation.
