Title
Discussion of issues relating to amending the FY 2016-2017 Salary and Classification Scales for full-time employees and execution of payment to begin with the 2nd pay period in August 2017.
Body
Summary:
As discussed during the FY 2017-2018 Budget workshop in June, new Salary and Classification scales for full-time employees are being proposed for the new fiscal year which will become the basis for compensation structures. These scales reflect a 2% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA), which is the amount of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in the Houston area for the period of April 2016 through April 2017. This includes all full-time scales including Classified Staff, Leadership (Classified and Non-Classified Staff), and Position Classifications with Grandfathered Roles (Classified Staff).
Due to the outstanding and fiscally responsible efforts of our employees during the current fiscal year, which resulted in many accomplishments and have greatly contributed to the excellent fiscal condition of the City, it is recommended that the FY 2016-2017 salary and classification scales be amended to include the 2% COLA to begin with the 2nd pay period in August 2017.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Approximately $71,250 for remainder of FY 2016-2017. The breakdown by fund is as follows:
General Fund - $60,194
Water/ Sewer - $8,119
Storm Water - $307
CCPD - $1,066
FCPEMSD - $1,564
