1 MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
1 FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager
1 DATE: February 23 , 1989
SUBJ: Set Special Meeting Date:
1 - 1989 Position Classification Plan
- Comparable Worth Plan
All of the items listed above are interrelated. Specifically,
the City must, under state statute, complete a comparable worth
' study and file such with the state. This study must reflect each
of the City ' s positions in comparison to one another. The pri-
mary basis for the comparable worth plan is the Position
Classification Plan. During 1988 and early 1989 , staff has been
' working with Labor Relations Associates to assure compliance with
state law. Labor Relations Associates is the primary labor rela-
tions consultant for virtually every city within the metropolitan
1 area. Accordingly, that firm maintains the positions and
rankings of all cities, and is in a position to weigh differences
in job descriptions between our various cities. Their report is
nearing completion and should be available for presentation to
1 the City Council within the next two to three weeks.
Given the scope of the items proposed to be discussed, a special
1 meeting date is recommended. Hopefully, the item could be kept
to a 1-li hour time frame. Accordingly, that same evening could
be an opportunity to meet with one of our other commissions or to
meet with the County Assessor regarding 1989/90 property
valuation goals ( see memorandum included with setting dates for
the board of review) . Staff would recommend this latter option.
A special meeting date of March 20th is recommended. Again ,
recognizing the scope of discussion anticipated on March 20th,
staff would propose to have all enclosures for that meeting sent
out at least one week in advance of the meeting itself.
