§ 2-69. Pay plan.

(a)

There shall be a pay plan consisting of a salary range for each class of position in the classification plan, which shall provide for regular increments within such range to be earned by length of service and satisfactory service ratings. Each such range shall be determined with due regard to the salary ranges for other classes and to the relative difficulty and responsibility of characteristic duties of positions in the class, the minimum qualifications required, the prevailing rate paid for similar employment outside the city service, and any other factors that may properly be considered to have a bearing upon the fairness or adequacy of the range.

(b)

The director of human resources shall prepare and recommend to the city manager, on or before January 15th of each year, a pay plan for the city manager's consideration in the preparation of his recommended annual budget for the city council's consideration. The council shall adopt the same by ordinance, with or without modifications.

(c)

When so adopted by the council, the pay plan shall remain in effect until amended by the council. When a pay plan has been adopted, the council shall not increase or decrease salaries of individual members of the classified service, except officers elected or appointed by the council, but shall act in fixing the salaries of members of the classified service only by amendment of the pay plan.
