2. Review Position Classification Plan LABOR RELATIONS ASSOCIATES, INC. 7501 Golden Valley Road Golden Valley, Minnesota 55427 612/5461470 470 April 11, 1989 TO: Mayor Don Chemiel Councilmember Tom Workman Councilmember Ursula Dimler Councilmember Jay Johnson Councilmember Bill Boyt FROM: Karen A. Olsen, Consultant ' Labor Relations Associates, Inc. SUBJECT; COMPARABLE WORTH COMPLIANCE BACKGROUND ' In 1984 the Minnesota legislature passed the Comparable Worth Law (CWA) which requires public employers to conduct a job evaluation study, determine "comparable work value" based on knowledge, responsibility, effort and working conditions and ' establish "reasonable compensation relationships" for all positions, with the exception of elected officials and certain part-time, temporary and seasonal employees. In establishing ' "reasonable relationships" employers are to consider internal and external compensation relationships between all positions, with '*comparable work value" being a primary consideration. ' During the 1988 legislative session the legislature passed a bill which provides a penalty for noncompliance in the form of an amended tax levy limit and reduced State aids. This new ' legislation requires that a plan for compliance be developed and reported to the Commissioner of Employee Relations by October i, 1988. The plan for implementing equitable compensa- tion must provide for complete implementation not later than December 31, 1991, unless a later date has been approved by the Commissioner. ' II• COMPLIANCE APPROACHES USED BY CITIES AND OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYERS While the 1984 Comparable Worth Law includes criteria for ' defining "reasonable compensation relationships" the Law does not contain specific procedural directives regarding how compliance is to be achieved . During the 1988 legislative ' session a proposed bill would have required employers to raise the average compensation for female-dominated classes to the average compensation for male-dominated classes. In other ' words, the pay trend line for male-dominated classes would have been the required standard for pay equity adjustments- This bill did not pass. 2_ 1 Page two Mayor and City Councilmembers April 11 , 1989 Many public employers, including numerous cities and counties, have analyzed pay relationships by developing an "all employee', pay trend line and using this line as the standard for pay equity adjustments. This pay trend line is developed by constructing a scattergram in which comparable work values evaluation points) are plotted against salaries (usually salary range midpoints or maximums) . A "line of best fit" for the plotted points is then determined by a "Ieast squares" multiple regression analysis. This line represents the pay trend line. ' Following determination of a pay trend line adjusted to consider noacompensated overtime for exempt employees, two "salary corridors" of + 10% are constructed around the pay trend line. These corridors are based on the settlement of a pay equity dispute between the City of San Jose, California and' a public employee union, AFSC&ME. This conflict resulted in a strike; settlement terms included providing for initial pay equity adjustments up to the 90% corridor for all positions for which compensation feII below. Based on this concept, and ' because a certain amount of variance from the pay trend line is expected due to errors of measurement in assessing job value and other factors, many employers have adopted salary corridors as a means of determining what pay equity adjustments are I needed to achieve compliance. These employers have adopted a plan to adjust all salaries to the 90% corridor for the first year and to narrow the variance around the 100% pay line in I succeeding years. RECOMMENDED PLAN FOR COMPLIANCE FOR THE CITY OF CHANHASSEN ' The City of Chanhassen jobs were evaluated by comparing them . with jobs evaluated in a multi-city study. Job point were then plotted in the scattergram in Exhibit Ausingasalary grade midpoints to illustrate the relationship of job value to current pay. An analysis of Exhibit A indicates the positive impact which the City's pay program has had in reducing pa inequities. The all employee pay trend line shows a curviy linear relationship between job values and salary midpoints. Salary grade midpoints are generally contained within the + 10q I salary corridors representing acceptable variance around te pay trend line. Only one position, that of Accounting Clerk, is below the 10% corridor. This position should be upgraded II that the salary midpoint Iies between the 90% line and the100% a.11 employee pay trend line. Exhibit B is a scattergram showing the relationship of the actual salaries of current incumbents plotted against job point values. Salary adjustments for those individuals whose current Page three Mayor and City Councilmemhers April 11 , 1989 salaries are below the 90% line should he made in accordance ' with the City ' s pay plan so that actual salaries paid will eventually be at or above the 90% salary corridor. Salary adjustments contemplated for those individuals whose current ' salaries are above the 110% salary corridor should take into consideration internal comparisons as well as market rates. Many cities are "slowing down" the rate of salary growth for ' jobs above the 110% corridor by providing small base salary increases along with lump sum payments to incumbents in these positions. This strategy ensures the City' s ability to retain • current incumbents while minimizing base pay increases for a period of time until these positions are no longer above the 110% salary corridor. ' The legislature is currently considering revision of the Comparable Worth Law. It is not possible to predict whether or not proposed legislation will pass. If it does, the City will need to reanalyze its pay program and current incumbent salaries to ensure conformance with the revised statute. 4 ow - 1 I 4 I SO _ a IS-- C I0 d 1-1.- - (..n I (f) caSi y a I z Q d I >- Z I on o 0.

BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 (612) 937-1900 I . IMemorandum: ITo: 1989-1990 Councilmembers, City Manager From: Councilmember Jay Johnson • IDate: December 8, 1988 ISubject: Team Building, City Philosophy, City Council Goals Team Building I have enclosed an audio cassette of the nation League of Cities Conference session "Building Consensus With A Winning Team" . I hope that some of the concepts introduced in this tape can be Iimplemented by our council next year. I believe that the upcoming Council has a common desire for public I service, for an more open government, and are not happy with the status quo. While we do share many common objectives, we will not always agree with each other's point of view. Hopefully, we will respect each other and each other's right to differ. This respect Iwas never fully developed with the present Council. Chanhassen Philosophy IThe attached Organizational Philosophy from Champaign, Illinois reflects my commitment and philosophy of public service. I would I like to use it as a guide after which we could pattern our philosophy. In Champaign this Philosophy is posted throughout City Hall as a constant reminder for all employees. ICity Council Goals The attached City Council Goals are also from Champaign, Illinois. I Their goals are posted in the Council Chambers. I hope that we can prepare a clear set of goals under which we will consistently operate. Unfortunately, I do not believe that the New Council I will be able to establish its goals until the new members have had time to learn the complexities of their new responsibilities. I Memo to 1989-1990 Council From Jay Johnson December 8 , 1988 Page 2 In short I believe that the new members will need time to get used ' to their positions, understand the complexities of their new jobs, and the Council as a whole will need some time to become an effective working group before we publish a set of comprehensive goals. After two years in this position I now understand why campaign promises are not always kept. Each member will have their ownoset of goals (campaign promises, etc. ) which may not compley agree with the Council's comprehensive goals. This diversity is good and should be encouraged. Goals are more effective if they are written down. I encourage each of you to prepare some preliminary goals for 1989 and 1990 and distribute them prior to Christmas. I hope we can, during the first few months of next year, agree on a preliminary set of goals which we can present to the commissions and Staff for their input prior to forming a set of comprehensive goals. On the airplane back from the conference I drafted this list of goals which I hope to work towards in the coming years. this is not a complete list. I will be working on adding more goals and editing these goals during December. They they have not been ranked in any order of importance. ' Establish a responsive public inquiry/complaint system which assures and documents that inquiries are handled by the appropriate person(s) and in a timely fashion. The system should include monthly summaries, by department, on the timeliness of responses, types of complaints, and be capably of providing some trend analysis. The system should apply to Councilmembers as well as City Staff. Establish a Goals system for every aspect of city government. Foster increased communications between the City Council and the City Commissions. Continue the orderly development of our now successful industrial parks by encouraging selected high tech, clean, industrial development within the existing framework of incentives offered by the HRA. Encourage the expansion of affordable housing through HRA incentives, in order that the young people of Chanhassen can afford to remain here and to provide Chanhassen's businesses with a "full range" employment base. 11 . Memo to 1989-1990 Council From Jay Johnson December 8 , 1988 Page 3 Continue the orderly development of the downtown commercial developments with a mix of retail , commercial and service ' businesses. Discourage additional strip centers and gasoline/convenience centers within the downtown area. ' Establish a sign committee to review the sign ordinance, to assure that the ordinance peruei�s businesses to have reasonable signage while limiting the visual pollution associated with oversized, distracting and too numerous signage. Establish an animal feces (pooper scooper) ordinance under ' which pet owners and non-pet owners can enjoy our park and trail systems. ' Establish rules under which equestrian trails can be established. Continue the construction of trails within the the budgetary constraints. Establish a priority on the trails which interconnect parks, schools and neighborhoods. ' Support the Chanhassen Fire Department recruitment efforts. Establish Chanhassen as a speed reduction project. ' Establish Chanhassen as a Zero Tolerance Zone for drugs. Obtain an equitable police contract with the Carver county ' Sheriff's Office which recognizes the uniqueness of Chanhassen's contract within Carver County and continue the development of our Public Safety Department and the CSO ' program. Continue the review of our infrastructure to assure that ' adequate infrastructure is available to support planned orderly growth. Complete the updating of the comprehensive plan. rEstablish a completeness review requirement with our ordinances which will minimize the wasting of staff, commission, and council time on incomplete applications. Support and take a leadership position in the Chain of lakes project. ' Establish a forest preservation ordinance similar to our wetlands ordinance.
