Agenda Item: ~ ° H
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Donna C. Peter, Director of Human Resources
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Revised Executive
Pay Plan
Recommended Action
This report requests that City Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City
Manager to amend and execute the Executive Pay Plan (EPP) by deleting the position
of "Risk Manager" from coverage by the EPP.
Executive Summary
A single amendment is being proposed to the Executive Pay Plan: to delete the
position of "Risk Manager" from coverage by the Executive Pay Plan (EPP). As a
division head, the position will be represented by the Management Team Associates
(MTA):
Discussion
The EPP establishes the terms and conditions of employment for Department Heads
and other at-will employees who receive the EPP benefits as a part of their separate
employment contracts. A reorganization resulted in the Risk Management Division
being moved to the Finance Department, The position, which reports to the Director of
Finance; is considered to be a division manager and no longer qualifies for coverage
under the EPP. The incumbent Risk Manager was covered by the EPP until his
departure in November 2008. The position, which is currently vacant, is more
appropriately represented by the Management Team Associates; therefore, a single
amendment is being proposed to the Executive Pay Plan: to delete the "Risk Manager"
from coverage by the EPP.
