Approval of a the Creation of a New Full-Time Parks and Recreation Director Position.

]

VILLAGE MANAGER NUMBER 19 YES ITEM NUMBER 19 ADAM MAYOR. MEMBERS OF THE COUNCIL IS APPROVAL OF CREATION OF A NEW FULL TIME. PARKS AND RECREATION DIRECTOR POSITION. THE CURRENT PARK SUPERINTENDENT. HAS RESIGNED, EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 8TH AND. THE CURRENT LEVEL ACTIVITY AND NEEDS IN THE PARKS RECREATION DEPARTMENT. WE ARE IN NEED OF A FULL TIME. PERSON AT A HIGH LEVEL HIGHER LEVEL THAN PARK SUPERINTENDENT. SO WE'RE ASKING THAT. THE COUNCIL CREATE THIS FULL TIME POSITION CONSISTENT WITH OUR CITY'S CHARTER. CAN I GET A MOTION SOME MOVE FOR APPROVAL. AND A DISCUSSION. YES. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES OKAY. MY QUESTION IS WE'RE GOING FROM A SUPERVISOR TO A DIRECTOR. YES, OKAY. UM AND THAT'S ABOUT ABOUT $20,000 JUMP. THAT'S CORRECT. SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? AND YOU SET A HIGHER LEVEL? SO WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE JOB DESCRIPTION? WELL IT'S THAT DIRECTOR IS, YOU KNOW, A SENIOR MANAGER IN ORGANIZATION. AND THEY SUPERVISED DEPARTMENTS AND DIVISIONS AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES AND BUDGETS. SO THERE THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN BEING APART SUPERINTENDENT WHERE THEY WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IN BUDGETING MATTERS. THEY DON'T PREPARE BUDGETS, DEPARTMENTAL BUDGETS, THEY DON'T THEY ACTUALLY ARE THE. THE BEATS. THEY'RE THE THEY'RE THE BOOTS ON THE GROUND, THE GROUNDS THAT ARE DOING THE I CALL IT THE MANUAL LABOR. IF YOU CALL IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT THAT, AND SO WE'RE ASKING. WE'RE REALLY IN NEED OF SOMEONE. THE LAST THE LAST PERSON THAT WE HAD, UH. WE BENEFITED FROM HIS EXPERIENCE BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN A DIRECTOR, AND SO HE WAS DOING A BUNCH OF THINGS FOR US. HE WAS NOT ONLY ACTING AS A DIRECTOR, BUT HE WAS HE WAS OPERATING AS THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT, WHICH IS A UH UM, IT MEANT MANAGER. SO IF WE. SO WE'RE GOING TO LEAVE THAT SUPERINTENDENT POSITION THERE AND WE ARE GOING TO ADD A DIRECTOR. NO, WE WOULD ELIMINATE THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT POSITION THIS. THIS REQUEST IS TO ADD A PARKS AND PARKS, RECREATION DIRECTOR POSITION FULL TIME AND ELIMINATE THE PARK SUPERINTENDENT POSITION. AND THIS IS TO OUR ADVANTAGE FOR IT. BENEFITS THE VILLAGE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE'RE HAVING A CRISIS WITH HIRING FOLKS RIGHT NOW, AS YOU KNOW, LOCAL GOVERNMENT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED MORE THAN BUSINESSES. WE ARE HAVING A CRITICAL SHORTAGE IN NEED FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS AS ESPECIALLY AT THE MID LEVEL, UH TO UPPER MANAGEMENT POSITIONS. THERE ARE TOUGH TO FEEL RIGHT NOW. THERE ARE THERE ARE A NUMBER OF JURISDICTIONS THAT ARE GIVING BONUSES. CITY GOVERNMENTS ARE GIVING BONUSES TO FOLKS THAT ARE HARD ON, FOR EXAMPLE, CITY OF STEWART. THEY'RE GIVING TWO WEEKS PAY FOR FOLKS THAT COME ON BOARD WITH THEM RIGHT NOW. THAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT HERE.

MARTIN KELLY AND, UM SO THERE'S THE IT'S IMPACTED US AS WELL. CAUSE WHERE WE'RE SITUATED GEOGRAPHICALLY AND LOGISTICALLY, IT IS A CHALLENGE. OF REACH OF RECRUITING CERTAIN EMPLOYEES AT CERTAIN LEVELS. SO WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THIS POSITION MARKETABLE. WE NEED THE POSITION. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING THE COUNCIL APPROVED IT.

[00:40:01]

AND THAT THAT IS ACROSS THE BOARD. I THINK IN ANY SECTOR OF OUR. YOU KNOW, SOCIETY, AND WE HEARD THIS MORNING MARTIN COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT, YOU KNOW, CRITICAL SHORTAGES, YOU KNOW? UP AND DOWN AND THEN MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE WHAT THE DEPARTMENT IS. COUNCIL AND STONE. SO, MR BROWN WHAT YOU FAILED TO MENTION AS WELL AS THAT? THIS POSITION IS ALSO GOING TO HELP TO CREATE THE RESTORATION PROGRAM. AND IT'S GOING TO MAKE IT EASIER COMPARED TO HAVING A SUPERVISOR, CREATING A PROGRAM THAT'S CORRECT. AND, UH SO. AS FAR AS WHAT I UNDERSTAND THIS IS GOING TO BE A BETTER. SUITED POSITION FOR THE RESTORATION PROGRAM AND PARKS AND RECREATION PERIOD. THAT'S CORRECT. I'M SORRY, I'VE FORGOT THAT LITTLE UP THAT LEAD THAT OUT, AND IT'S. IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY THAT AT A HIGHER LEVEL THAT CAN ACTUALLY DEVELOP A RECREATIONAL PROGRAM COMPONENT. AS YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL IS VERY INTERESTED IN RECREATIONAL PROGRAMMING AT THE VILLAGE. THAT. HAS NOT HAPPENED YET AND NOT BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T RECRUITED FOR IT. OUR FIRST GOAL WAS TO GET THE PARKS UP AND RUNNING. THAT IS UPDATE THE PARK'S FIX WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW AND WE'RE AND THE LAST PARK SUPERINTENDENT. HE DID A GOOD JOB AT THAT. WE'RE I THINK WE'RE THERE. BUT GOING FORWARD.

WE REALLY NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN COME IN AND PUT TOGETHER. RECREATIONAL PROGRAMS MANAGE WELL. THESE YOUTH SERVICE LEAGUE CONTRACTS AND OTHER THINGS SO THAT'S WHY WE THANK YOU, COUNCILOR. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY MADAM MAN ROLL CALL MADAM CLERK COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS. I CAN'T LET ME. YEAH, YEAH, ME. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS I COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ. YES COUNCIL MEMBER STONE? YES, KLEZMER DARLING. HI. MAYOR CLARK. YES. VILLAGE MANAGER NUMBER 20. YES ITEM NUMBER 20 MAYOR, UH, THIS KIND OF FALLS

Approval of Splitting the Approved Full-Time Public Works & Utilities Director Position into Two New Full-Time Positions: a Public Works Director Position and a Separate Utilities Director Position

]

IN THE SAME THING. RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A PUBLIC UTILITIES DIRECTOR POSITION THAT WAS APPROVED IN THE FY 21 BUDGET. WE HAVE BEEN RECRUITING FOR THAT POSITION, BUT WE'VE BEEN CHALLENGED. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF APPLICATIONS THAT WE RECEIVED. UH MOST ARE NOT WORK QUALIFIED. WE DID DO AN INTERVIEW, TOO. BUT WE HAVEN'T FOUND ANYONE YET. THAT COULD FEEL THAT BILL. NOW COMBINING THE PUBLIC WORKS AND THE UTILITIES. DIRECTOR POSITION WAS MY CREATION BECAUSE I THOUGHT IF WE COULD FIND SOMEONE TO DO THAT WORK, THEY COULD DO TWO JOBS THEY COULD DO. THEY CAN OVERSEE PUBLIC WORKS AND THEY CAN OVERSEE UTILITIES. AND SO WE WERE CHALLENGED, TRYING TO FIND THAT THAT UNIQUE. PERSON SO I'M ASKING THAT WE CREATE TWO POSITIONS, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND A, UH, UTILITIES DIRECTOR POSITION AND THAT IT WILL ALLOW US TO GO OUT TO THE MARKET AND. INTERVIEW OR AT LEAST OR ADVERTISE FOR THOSE POSITIONS. WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOMEONE WHO HAS BOTH SKILL SETS, BUT MAY, UH, MAY PREFER WORKING IN PUBLIC WORKS OR VICE VERSA. BUT ALLOW US TO GO OUT THERE AND DIRECTLY. MARKET UH, FOR EACH ONE OF THOSE POSITIONS, AND THEN ONCE WE HIRE SOMEONE, WE COULD JUST ASSIGN THEM THE OTHER DUTIES DEPENDING ON THEIR SKILL LEVEL, AND THAT TYPE OF THING SO THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. I'M ASKING THAT. AH THE COUNCIL APPROVED PUBLIC WORKS, UH, AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR POSITION ATTESTING. YOUR AGENDA ITEM ARE THE TWO SEPARATE, UH, JOB DESCRIPTIONS AS WELL. AND, UM, THAT IS OUR REQUEST. POTION. SOME OF SECOND. AND THE COUNCIL DISCUSSION. COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. SO ARE CURRENTLY WE HAVE IN THE PUBLIC WE HAVE IN THE BUDGET. THE PUBLIC UTILITIES. YES THE COMBO AND THAT WAS BUDGETED AT THAT POSITION WAS BUDGETED AT. THAT, UM, I BELIEVE $90,000. OKAY. I HAD 84. UM. BUT AROUND THERE SOMEWHERE, SO WE'RE GOING TO DELETE THAT POSITION. AND WE ARE GOING TO CREATE TWO SEPARATE, DISTINCTLY SEPARATE POSITIONS. THAT'S CORRECT. WHAT IS THEIR PAY RANGE WILL BE THE WELL. THERE IT WOULD BE THE $70,350 TO $92,000, OKAY? OKAY, SO WE'RE GOING FROM 1 TO 2. SO TOO, ARE NOT CURRENTLY IN THE BUDGET. WE DON'T LIKE BUDGETED FOR ONE POSITION SO FAR, THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY? WOULDN'T BE HIRING TWO POSITIONS WOULD BE HARD. JUST ONE. WE'D ONLY BE

[00:45:14]

HIRING ONE PERSON, ONE PERSON. I'M ASKING THAT WE CREATE TWO POSITIONS AND I'M GONNA I'M GONNA ADVERTISE FOR TWO POSITIONS. AND I'M GOING TO SEE IF I CAN FIND A CANDIDATE RIGHT NOW TO, ACTUALLY THAT'S QUALIFIED TO DO BOTH OF THOSE JOBS. BUT ONLY HARD ONE PERSON.

THAT MAKES NO SENSE TO MY Y THEN WHY DON'T WE KEEP IT THE SAME AS IT IS, AS IN ONE POSITION IF THAT'S ALL YOU'RE GOING TO BE HIRING WELL, BECAUSE BECAUSE THERE ARE DIFFERENT ASSOCIATIONS THAT EACH ONE. HIS POSITIONS BELONG TO AND SO I THINK ONE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT WE'VE BEEN HAVING IS UM. YOU KNOW, WE'VE ADVERTISED FOR A POSITION CALLED PUBLIC UTILITIES DIRECTOR. AND IT SOUNDS LIKE UTILITIES DIRECTOR. BUT REALLY, YOU GOT TO LOOK IN THE DETAILS OF THE JOB DESCRIPTION. YOU'LL SEE THAT IT'S PUBLIC WORKS AND IT'S UTILITIES. AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S CREATING SOME CONFUSION IN THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS. AND SO MY, MY RECOMMENDATION IS WE CREATE TWO POSITIONS SO I CAN ADVERTISE TO SEPARATELY TO SEPARATE POSITIONS. AND THEN HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET APPLICATIONS IN. AND SO THAT'S IT'S JUST, IT'S JUST TRYING TO BE. THIS IS JUST ANOTHER CREATIVE WAY TO TRY TO OKAY BUT THEN YOU'RE PLANNING ON HIGH, ONLY HIRING ONE PERSON TO FULFILL BOTH OF THOSE ROOMS. CAN YES. OKAY I'M NOT REALLY GETTING THE LOGIC IN THAT. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ. MANAGER QUESTION. IS THERE ANY POSSIBILITY THAT INSTEAD OF DOING THE FULL TIME PUBLIC WORKS? AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR WE CAN DO FULL TIME PUBLIC WORKS OR. UTILITIES DIRECTOR ADVERTISING LIKE THAT, SO YOU CAN HAVE PUBLIC WORKS. PEOPLE THAT ARE QUALIFIED APPLY BECAUSE IT SAYS PUBLIC WORKS, AND THEN YOU HAVE. AH THE UTILITIES DIRECTOR. PEOPLE HAVE QUALIFICATIONS FOR THAT APPLY ALSO, SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO. CREATE TWO JOB DESCRIPTIONS.

BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU'RE ADVERTISING AS PUBLIC WORKS AND UTILITIES DIRECTOR, RIGHT? I THINK WE JUST CALL IT PUBLIC UTILITIES DIRECTOR. OKAY IS THERE ANY WAY THAT WE CAN DO PUBLIC WORKS? OR UTILITIES DIRECTOR. AND THAT CAN PROBABLY HELP THE SITUATION. AND ONCE THEY START READING THAT. THAT THE SUMMARY OR THE EXECUTIVE OR THE JOB DESCRIPTION, THEY CAN SEE THAT IT'S EITHER OR THEY DON'T HAVE TO HAVE EXPERIENCE FOR BOTH OF THEM, BUT THEY. CAN HAVE EXPERIENCE FOR ONE OF THE POSITIONS AND STILL BE ABLE TO APPLY. NO, I UNDERSTAND AND I'M SORRY IF I'VE CONFUSED THE COUNCIL. UM I'M CONFUSED. I AM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S KIND OF ODD BIRD HERE. YOU KNOW, THIS DOESN'T FALL INTO YOUR STANDARD H. R. SCENARIO WHERE, YOU KNOW WE HAVE TWO POSITIONS AND WE SO. WHAT I'M SEEING OUT THERE WE GOT ZERO APPLICATIONS FOR THE PUBLIC UTILITIES DIRECTED GUYS. OKAY SO WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS I JUST NEED AUTHORITY TO ADVERTISE THESE TWO POSITIONS AND THEN LET ME LOOK AT. LOOK AT THESE APPLICATIONS THAT ARE COMING IN. AND MAKE A DECISION ON SOMEONE THAT COULD THAT COULD HELP THE VILLAGE. UH AND I'M SORRY IF I'VE CONFUSION AND I KNOW HOLD UP, HOLD UP. HOLD UP, COUNSELOR. STONE YOU'RE GOING TO GO AFTER SAMAR. SO JUST TO CLARIFY COUNCILWOMAN GIVES. IT'S ONLY ONE POSITION. BUT YOU PUT INTO POSITIONS OUT THERE BECAUSE IF YOU GET SOMEBODY FROM EITHER OF THOSE POSITIONS AND THEY MIGHT QUALIFY TO FIT IN, BUT YOU'RE ONLY PAYING ONE PERSON. BUT THE MORE APPLICATIONS YOU GET, HE'S GOING TO GO THROUGH AND SORT THEM OUT. AND THEN HE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO SEE IF WHOEVER CAME FROM WHAT STASH QUALIFY FOR BOTH, BUT THAT'S I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S HOW YOU GOING TO BE ABLE TO HOPEFULLY, GET SOMEBODY OF A GOOD CHOICE. IF THAT MAKES SENSE TO YOU GO AHEAD. COUNCILMAN STONE. SO I WAS JUST GOING TO TRY TO MAKE IT AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE. SO IT'S ALL MARKETING PURPOSE, REALLY WHAT IT IS. IT'S YOUR MARKETING FOR ONE CANDIDATE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU'RE SPLITTING IT SO THAT WAY YOU GET MORE APPLICATIONS. IT'S KIND OF LIKE GOING FOR RECEPTIONISTS AND, UH, ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT IT'S YOU'RE GOING FOR ONE PERSON.

BUT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO BE IDENTIFY AS A ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT, WHILE OTHERS MIGHT BE ONE OF MIGHT WANT TO BE REPRESENTED AS A RECEPTIONIST CREW. SO, REALLY, IT'S JUST.

[00:50:05]

GOING FOR WHOEVER MIGHT BE ATTRACTED TO THE BURBAGE BRUSH TITLE IS JUST BURBAGE. REALLY? IF THAT MAKES IT ANY CLEARER. SOON. I GET THE CONCEPT? YEAH. OKAY, I GET IT, HOWEVER. DOING IT THIS WAY. WE ARE CREATING TWO SEPARATE AND DISTINCT POSITIONS THAT WILL BE IN OUR.

IN OUR POSITION AND OUR WHAT DO WE GOT HERE IN OUR PAY PLAN. THEY WILL BOTH BE SITTING THERE EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY IDEALLY NOW. JUST HIRE ONE PERSON. CORRECT. YOU HAVE THAT POSITION SITTING THERE AND NEXT WEEK, YOU MAY TURN AROUND AND SAY, OH, WELL, LET'S GO AHEAD AND GET THE OTHER PERSON. IT'S JUST. BIGGER AND MORE AND I DO NOT AND I GET IT. I GET IT. YOU'RE TRYING TO BUT WE ARE ARE YOU ALSO HAVE TO REALIZE THEN THAT POSITION SITTING OUT THERE AND SO IT CAN BE REALISTICALLY FILLED, AND THAT'S JUST MORE ON THE PAYROLL. WELL LET ME RESPOND TO THAT. BECAUSE I DON'T WANT IT. I KNOW I'M THERE FOR ME WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT, AND I UNDERSTAND IT, OKAY? AS WE GROW. THERE ARE PEOPLE'S ISH INS IN OUR PAY PLAN THAT WON'T BE FUNDED. OKAY SO YOU'LL HAVE POSITIONS IN THERE LIKE, WELL, WHAT IS THAT POSITION THAT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WE HAD THE POSITION WILL IT WILL BE IN THE PAY PLAN, BUT IT WON'T BE FUNDED, MEANING THAT IT WOULDN'T BE BUDGETED BY THE COUNCIL COUNCIL AUTHORIZED EXPENDITURE OF FUNDS FOR THAT POSITION, SO WE'LL HAVE POSITIONS THAT. IN OUR PAPER PLANE AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND GET BIGGER OR WHATEVER THE CASE MAY BE THAT ARE NOT FUNDED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. YOU KNOW? SO IN CREATING THESE TWO POSITIONS WERE CREATING TWO POSITIONS, BUT WE'RE ONLY FUNDING ONE. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. WE WILL ONLY FUND ONE POSITION OF THE BUDGET. YES, MA'AM. OKAY? SO WHAT IS THERE TO SAY? NEXT WEEK? THAT OKAY, WE NEED SOMEBODY. OUR BUDGET CAN ABSORB IT. AND YOU JUST DO AN AMENDMENT TO THE BUDGET AND YOU GO AHEAD AND. I'M JUST SAYING IT'S A KIND OF A SLICK WAY TO ADD PEOPLE TO THE PAINT WILL.

WE COULDN'T DO THAT WITHOUT THE COUNCIL'S PERMISSION. FIRST OF ALL, AND IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW FOR ME TO EVEN TRY SOMETHING LIKE THAT, BECAUSE THE BUDGET CONTROLS ALL THIS STUFF. AND SO WE'VE ONLY BUDGETED FOR ONE POSITION. SO THERE IS NO MONEY TO PAY FOR TWO POSITIONS. YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY WE COULD GET CREATIVE AND WE COULD SAY, WELL, MAYBE WE CAN HAVE WATER AND SEWER PAY FOR IT, BUT MY GOAL WAS TO GET ONE PERSON. TO PAY YOU KNOW AND PAID FOR THEM PARTLY OUT OF THE WATER AND TOUR FUN, BUT IT'S ONE POSITION NOT TO IS WHAT WILL BE FUNDED. AND THAT HELPS OR NOT, BUT I'M TRYING TO EXPLAIN IT, YOU KNOW? IN THE COMMENTS, COUNCILMAN DALLA READY TO VOTE. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS. I DO NOT HAVE ANY META MERE ROCARD, PLEASE. COUNCIL MEMBER GIVES THOMAS NO. COUNCIL MEMBER HERNANDEZ YES.

COUNCIL MEMBER STONE. YES, THERE, DARLING. I MAYOR CLARK? YES. VILLAGE MANAGER. I'M

Compensation (Pay) Plan Amendments to Reflect 3% COLA and Newly Budgeted Positions

]

NUMBER 21 NUMBER 21 ITEM NUMBER 21 IS A PAY PLAN AMENDMENT, SO THE COUNCIL APPROVED SEVERAL POSITIONS DURING THE CURRENT BUDGET. WELL DURING THE YES DURING THE CURRENT BUDGET YEAR.

AND ONE FULL TIME MINISTRY OF ASSISTANT FOR COMMUNITY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT ONE FULL TIME. PERMIT TECHNICIAN AND THREE PART TIME PARK RANGERS AND SO WERE REQUIRED UNDER, UH, VILLAGE ORDINANCE TO, UM. AT THESE POSITIONS TO THE PEOPLE, AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS DOCUMENT IS. THIS THIS DOCUMENT ALSO INCLUDES 3% COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT. IT'S JUST THE SCALE THAT WE PUT TOGETHER THAT INCORPORATES. THE COST LIVING ADJUSTMENT, AND I'VE ALSO PRINTED OUT. UM. THE PREVIOUS PAY PLAN SO YOU CAN COMPARE THE DIFFERENCES AND SO. IT. WAS IT JUST SKILLS UP THE ENTRY SALARY. THE 33% SO. SUCH THAT ASKED THAT THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE AMENDED, UH, A PLAN. CAN I GET A MOTION? SO MOVE FOR APPROVAL. SECOND IN ACCOUNTS OF DISCUSSION. SUSAN. SORRY. I'M SORRY. THAT WAS JUST GOING TO ASK YOU A QUICK QUESTION. OH YEAH. OKAY. SUSAN HAD A HAND UP THEN I'M COMING. I'M SORRY.

SURE SAID, GO AHEAD. I DEFER TO COUNCIL MEMBER STONE AT THIS TIME. SO THIS, UM. INCREASE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO VOTE ON. EVERYONE READY TO SEASON CORRECT. YES. THAT'S

[00:55:05]

ALL. NOW. YES, SUSAN. OKAY. THANK YOU. UM. WHEN WE VOTED ON A 3% COLA INCREASE. IT WAS NOT MY UNDERSTANDING THAT IT PERTAINED TO THE PAY PLAN ITSELF. THAT THE PAY PLAN WOULD BE INCREASED ACCORDINGLY. WHIPPED BY WHATEVER PERCENTAGE, UM. I AND THE. VILLAGE MANAGER AND I HAD A ROBUST DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS. BECAUSE IF WE SET A MINIMUM AND A MAXIMUM JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE. 67,000 AS THE MINIMUM DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THEY'RE GOING TO BE HIRED IN AT THAT. I DON'T FEEL IT APPROPRIATE THAT EVERY TIME THAT THERE IS A COLA INCREASE.

THAT YOU AUTOMATICALLY BECAUSE YOU HIRE SOMEBODY IN. THEY ARE GOING TO PERPETUALLY BE AT THAT FLOOR LEVEL. IF YOU AUTOMATICALLY DO THE MINIMUM. IF YOU DO IT FOR THE PAY PLAN ALSO, YOU HIRE SOMEBODY IN AT 67. YOU HAVE A COLA INCREASE. OKAY THEY GET IT. AND THEN YOU'RE YOUR PAY PLAN REFLECTS THAT SAME THING. SO THEY'RE NEVER GOING TO GET MORE THAN WHAT THE MINIMUM PERSON IS ON THE PAY PLANT. YOU'RE NOT GIVING THEM ANY ROOM OF. WELL YOU KNOW, THE NEXT PERSON THEY HIRE IN MAYBE, YOU KNOW, MAYBE MAKING LESS IF IT'S LIKE MULTIPLE POSITIONS, AND IN ONE IN ONE, YOU KNOW THING, UM SO I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY INCENTIVE THERE. I THINK THAT, UM A PAY PLAN NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED. EVERY FIVE YEARS, EVERY 10 YEARS, WHATEVER THE COUNCIL DEEMS NECESSARY, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE A COLA SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC TO THE PAINT PLANT. IT SHOULD BE AUTOMATIC TO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WORKING. THAT WE HAVE CURRENTLY HAVE EMPLOYED. I THINK IT'S APPROPRIATE. BUT I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD GO TO THE PAY PLAN. IT'S NOT AN AUTOMATIC FOR THE PAY PLAN. I THINK MAYBE THAT SHOULD BE A REVIEW EVERY SO MANY YEARS. OUR RECOMMENDATION WAS JUST A JUST A PAID PLAN FOR INFLATION, AND THAT'S ALL THIS. THIS DOES. BUT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE THAT YOU ALWAYS HAVE THAT PERSON THAT COMES IN WILL ALWAYS BE AT THE MINIMUM. YOU INCREASE YOUR PAPER PLAN EVERY TIME THEY GO RIGHT ALONG WITH IT, THEY'LL NEVER GET ANYWHERE. SO WHEN WE DID THIS INCREASE, I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR ALL THE STAFF THAT WAS WORKING, TOO. BUT YOU YOU SAID YOU WENT ACROSS THE BOARD. I'M JUST SAYING, THIS IS THE NORM. I KNOW THE STATE DON'T DO IT. I WISH THEY WILL WHEN THEY DON'T, BUT I MEAN I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE STAFF THAT'S WORKING TO GET IT, BUT SOMEBODY THAT'S NOT HERE. YET. I DON'T THINK IT SHOULD BE IN THERE.

YEAH. ALL WE'RE TRYING TO DO. IS MAKE SURE THAT THAT THIS SCALE. MOVES WITHOUT WITHOUT US CREATE AN UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE DOWN THE ROAD. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS IN A FEW YEARS FROM NOW. WE WILL LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. AND THAT PRICE TAG WILL NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK IT WILL BE. IT'LL BE UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT I'VE SEEN IN MY CAREER OF DOING THESE CONVERSATION PLANS IS THAT PEOPLE WILL BE UPSIDE DOWN. THERE'LL BE PEOPLE THAT. THAT WILL COMPLAIN THAT THIS PERSON MAKES MORE MONEY THAN THEY DO AND WHAT THIS DOES IT JUST TAKES THAT OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE, YOU KNOW UM. ITS ADJUSTED FOR INFLATION. THAT'S WHAT THAT'S ALL THIS DOES. I MEAN, THE PERSON COMING IN GETS HIRED IN. YOU KNOW, RIGHT AROUND THE ENTRY THAT ENTRY LEVEL, I MEAN, DEPENDING ON QUALIFICATIONS AND WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO NEGOTIATE. BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT IS. OF JUST CONFUSED BECAUSE ARE YOU SAYING THAT THIS WILL THIS COME BACK? IF SOMEBODY DOESN'T GET THAT 3% INCREASE? I'M JUST SAYING, I UNDERSTAND ABOUT STAFF THAT'S ALREADY HERE. THE STATE WOULD DO IT. I MEAN, THEY DON'T DO IT EVERY YEAR, BUT THEY DON'T ADD IT TO POSITIONS THAT NOT. LIVING AND WORKING AT THAT MOMENT, THAT'S ALL I'M SAYING.

I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. AND I'M JUST I'M JUST LOOKING AT THE FUTURE OF THIS MISS PALETTE E AND I'M MAKING A RECOMMENDATION. IF YOU GUYS DON'T WANT TO DO IT, THEN WE'LL STICK WITH THE PAY PLAN. IT'S ALREADY BEEN APPROVED. AND THAT'S FINE. BUT WE'LL BE BACK TALKING ABOUT THIS, YOU KNOW, SOONER THAN LATER BECAUSE OF THE RANGE THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE. COUNCILOR WOMAN, HERNANDEZ. AH WELL, I HAVE TWO OR THREE THINGS. THE FIRST THING, UM. I IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. ESPECIALLY THE NONPROFIT WHERE I WORKED. THE

[01:00:07]

COLA IS APPLIED NOT TO THE. NOT TO THE DESCRIPTION OF THE LIKE. FOR EXAMPLE, IF I HAD TWO ASSISTANTS AND MY, UM. AT MY FACILITY, THEY WOULD NOT BE TREATED THE SAME. IT JUST DEPENDS ON TIME. HAVE THEY BEEN THERE IN THE COLA? UM, SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF TODAY. WE HAVE A PERMIT TECH. LET'S JUST SAY. VANESSA I DON'T WANT TO SAY REAL NAME. OKAY. VANESSA PERMIT. TAKE. SHE CURRENTLY IS WORKING AT THE VILLAGE, AND SHE'S EARNING $15 AN HOUR AND THEN WITH THIS COLA, SHE'D GET A 3% INCREASE. SO THE NEXT PERSON THAT WALKS IN THE DOOR A FEW DAYS LATER, BUT SHE GOT THE 3% INCREASE. IT WOULD APPLY TO HER TO CORRECT. YEAH I DON'T THINK THAT'S BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T BE FAIR BECAUSE SHE WAS WORKING FOR A YEAR WITH WITHOUT THAT COLA INCREASE. I THINK YOU SHOULD APPLY IT. INDIVIDUALLY. UM I FEEL LIKE THE MORE SENIOR, UH, SENIOR ALREADY THAT THEY HAVE. THAT'S HOW YOU APPLY THE KOHLER AND THEN YOU CAN APPLY THE COLA. TWO THERE'S TIMES, ESPECIALLY ECONOMIC CRISIS WHERE YOU DON'T NOT EVERYONE WILL GET A COLA. SO LIKE THE 3% IS NOT GUARANTEED, UM AND IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR. I'M NOT SURE HOW GOVERNMENTAL SECTOR IS. AND IF VILLAGE ATTORNEY CAN. STATE HOW IT HOW COMMON THIS IS TO APPLY IT TO THIS. LIKE IF WE HAD FIVE, UH PERMIT TEXTS. AND.

THREE OF THEM HAVE BEEN WORKING THERE FOR THREE YEARS, AND THEY GOT COLA INCREASES AND THEN THE PERSON THAT WALKS IN THE DOOR TOMORROW. GETS THE COLA INCREASE, NO MATTER NOT BEING THERE. SO I WAS TRYING TO KEEP MY HEAD DOWN A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO COMPLICATE THIS FURTHER BUT COMING OUT. LET ME THROW A COUPLE CONCEPTS AT YOU, UM.

FIRST OFF IN IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT. GENERALLY THERE'S NO GUARANTEE IN A GIVEN YEAR GOING YEAR TO YEAR THAT YOU HAVE INCREASES BACK IN THE BAD TIMES AFTER THE BUST. NOBODY GOT ANY SORT OF INCREASE OF ANY SORT FOR MANY YEARS, OKAY? UM. NOW THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF INCREASES, OKAY, AND THEY'RE CALLED DIFFERENT THINGS IN DIFFERENT TIMES. I WANT TO THROW THESE CONCEPTS OUT THERE AND AGAIN. I HOPE NOT THE COMPLICATE THINGS TOO MUCH. ONE IS A COLA COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT RIGHT THAT. USUALLY EXISTS TO COMPENSATE FOR INFLATION THAT USED TO BE A JOKE A COUPLE YEARS AGO. IT'S NOT JOKE ANYMORE, AS YOU ALL KNOW. UM THEN YOU HAVE OTHER SORTS OF INCREASES AND THEIR VARIOUSLY CALLED THINGS LIKE MERIT INCREASES OR STEP INCREASES. OR WHAT? HAVE YOU OKAY? THE WAY I'VE SEEN AN IMPLEMENT AND IT'S DIFFERENT EVERYWHERE AND YOU CALL IT DIFFERENT THINGS EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S NO ONE RIGHT WAY YOU CALL THESE THINGS. THESE ARE JUST GENERAL CONCEPTS. UM SO SOMETIMES WHEN YOU GET. YOU GET YOU GOT A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM, RIGHT? YOU END UP WITH WITH SITUATIONS WHERE YOU DO A COLA. ALL RIGHT, AND SOMETIMES YOU ONLY DO A COLA. AND THAT MEANS ONE THING. OTHER TIMES. YOU MIGHT NOT DO A COLA AND EVERYONE GETS A MERIT. JUST OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD EXAMPLE FROM ONE CITY, THEY. DIDN'T GET A COLA THIS YEAR BUT THEY'VE GOT A 2% MERIT STEP. EVERYBODY WENT UP. 2% BUT THAT WAS THAT DID NOT ADJUST THEIR PAY PLAN. BUT IT MOVED. THE ACTUAL EMPLOYEES WHO ARE THERE. SO THESE ARE ARE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT CONCEPTS OF COLA IS MEANT TO ADJUST FOR INFLATION. GENERALLY. MERIT OR STEP OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT FOR, OR SENIORITY OR WHAT HAVE YOU. IS STEPPING UP SOME PERCENTAGE. OR WHAT HAVE YOU BASED ON THE FACT THAT. THEY WERE THERE THAT YEAR AND NOT BRAND NEW. SOMETIMES IT'S BASED ON A POSITIVE EVALUATION. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T MATTER THEIR EVALUATION. OR SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T MATTER EVALUATION UNLESS THERE TRULY FAILED. SO IT'S ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS AGAIN. I DON'T WANT MIX ALL THIS UP, BUT WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT A COLA. THAT USUALLY IS THE TYPE OF THING YOU ADJUST THE WHOLE PAY PLAN, BUT THEN YOU GET USUALLY GET A LITTLE BIT MORE ARTICULATED AND SAYING, ALL RIGHT? ONE THING'S A COLA AND THEN FOR THE EMPLOYEES THAT ARE HERE, THEY'LL ADJUST ON THE KOLA AND THEY'LL ALSO GET A MERIT. OKAY? SO AGAIN, IT GETS COMPLICATED SOMETIMES, BUT DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? GENERALLY? YES, COUNCILMAN STONE. SO BASED ON WHAT I'M SEEING HERE AS FAR AS FOR THE PAY SCALE. IT SOUNDS

[01:05:06]

LIKE. IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE SHOULD JUST KEEP THE SAME REGARDLESS. AND AS FAR AS. FOR THE COLA GOES, YOU KNOW, WE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT WE ALREADY AGREED TO THAT. UH, BUT PERSONALLY. I'M THE TYPE OF PERSON WHERE. AFTER YOU VALUATION. THAT'S WHEN YOU GET A 3% OR NOTHING. DEPENDING ON HOW YOU'RE DOING, BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE IN JUST GIVING EVERYBODY A RAISE ACROSS THE BOARD. BUT THEN AGAIN, I'M IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR SO THAT THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT RURAL. SO I BELIEVE YOU EARN YOUR RACE. BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE ALREADY DISCUSSED THAT WE APPROVED WELL, WE DIDN'T IMPROVE IT, BUT WE AGREED TO IT. UM AS FAR AS FOR THE PAY SCALE GOES, I THINK WE SHOULD JUST LEAVE IT AS IS AND JUST LEAVE IT OUT OF IT. VICE MAYOR. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. UM. AGREE TO AGREE TO A DEGREE. UM FROM WHAT? STONE SAID. I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT THIS LAST WEEK. WHICH WE KIND OF GENERALLY AGREED TO GIVE. UM THE 3. INCREASE. UM. HOWARD. UH, THIS. TYPE OF ACTION KIND OF FALLS UNDER HR, RIGHT? YEAH, WE, UM. YES YEAH, UM AND THE REASON I SAID THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE MAY NEED TO REVISIT THE REFERENDUM. BECAUSE I THE COUNCIL, UM DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE. DON'T LET ME TALK ABOUT ME. I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO COMBAT THE 25 YEARS THAT YOU HAVE UM. UM HAVE BEEN IN THIS FIELD, BUT IT APPEARS THAT. WITH OUR EXPERIENCES. UH, WE COULD BE CREATING MORE ISSUES. UM IF WE WITH OUR HANDS IN IT, AND I THINK IT'S BEST IF WE WOULD PULL OUR HANDS OUT AND AGAIN.

LET THE MANAGER. AND THE HR. DO WHAT THEY DO. UH I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT WE REMEMBER TO COMPARE CITY GOVERNMENT TO CITY GOVERNMENT. AND I'VE I'VE HEARD FEW EXAMPLES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS AND JUST FORGET TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT, YOU KNOW. THINGS HAPPEN IN DIFFERENT SECTORS, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE COMPARE WHERE WE ARE OUR JOB TO OTHER, UM CITIES, OTHER MUNICIPALITIES. SO THAT WE CAN, UM. BE IN LINE OR ON THE SAME PAGE HOW WE OPERATE. SO UM, I HOPE THAT WE KEEP THAT IN MIND, UM AND, UH, AGAIN, UM YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THESE ARE HR. ISSUES IN WHICH I FEEL THAT. AS THE MANAGER AND TRADITIONALLY IS THAT WAY THE MANAGER WOULD HANDLE THAT. SO YOU KNOW, UM, I HOPE WE'RE ABLE TO GET TO A RESOLUTION TONIGHT. CONCERNING THAT. COUNCILWOMAN GIVE TOM AND THEN YEAH, I JUST WANT FOR CLARIFICATION. THIS ITEM 21. IS SOLELY ABOUT THE PAY PLAN TO REFLECT THE COLA. IT DOES NOT AFFECT THE PREVIOUS VOTE THAT WE HAD IN GIVING CURRENT EMPLOYEES A 3% COLA. INCREASE IS THAT CORRECT? THIS SOLELY IS ABOUT THE PLAN. THAT'S ALL IT'S ABOUT. IT'S JUST ABOUT THE PLAN.

OKAY. THANK YOU. THIS BECAUSE OF THEIR POSITIONS. COUNCILWOMAN HERNANDEZ AND YES, I JUST WANTED TO REITERATE WHAT COUNCILWOMAN GIVES THOMAS. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE IN REGARDS OF GIVING THEM THE COLA. WE ALREADY GAVE IT TO THEM LAST. MEETING IT'S THIS STEP OR THE PLAN. UM AND SEEING IF WE CAN, I WOULD PROBABLY THINK AND THE NEXT THREE YEARS PROBABLY. COME BACK AND REVISIT THAT, UM. BUT THIS ISN'T WE'VE ALREADY GIVEN THAT SO I'M NOT DEBATING THE COLA. I'M JUST TALKING ABOUT THIS PAY PLAN. MAYBE WE CAN REVISIT IT. I MEAN, JUST JUST KNOW THAT YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO DO A STUDY AND THEN THAT STUDY COMES BACK AND THEN YOU KNOW, YOU GET EYE OPENER. I THINK USED TO CALL IT SHOCK VALUE. UM. AND YOU KNOW, THIS KIND OF HELPS US. UH, YOU KNOW, INCREMENTALLY DOWN THE ROAD, SO WE DON'T HAVE SHOCK VALUE. BUT, UM. BUT YOU KNOW, WE DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS TONIGHT. I MEAN, IT COULD BE MOVED TO ANOTHER TIME.

[01:10:08]

SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING WE SHOULD BE REVISITED LIKE EVERY FIVE YEARS OR SO THEN. LOOK YOU'LL GET IT PROBABLY SOONER THAN THAT. WITH THIS ECONOMY. I THINK IT'LL BE BECAUSE I CAN ONLY GIVE YOU ONE EXAMPLE. AND IT'S A IT'S A REALLY GOOD EXAMPLE. BECAUSE IT'S. IT'S WE HIRED THE FINANCE DIRECTOR AT $80,000. THIS WAS THE PREVIOUS FINANCE DIRECTOR.

THAT'S WHAT HE CAME IN, AS AND IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PAGE PLAN, IT WAS 70,000. THE $92,000 AND WE WERE ABLE TO GET HIM TO AGREE TO $80,000. SO HE, UM UM. YOU KNOW, AFTER YOU CAME ON BOARD, YOU KNOW, HE SAID THAT YOU KNOW, WE HAD. MORE MONEY BUDGETED AND YOU KNOW HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY HE DOESN'T WORK FOR THE VILLAGE. I TOLD WELL, HE AGREED TO IT. AND SO, UM, SO HE UNDERSTOOD THAT TOO, BUT I BELIEVE THAT WAS ONE OF THE CHALLENGES. UH YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE BRINGING IN EMPLOYEES, YOU KNOW THEY SEE WHAT OTHER PEOPLE MAKE, BECAUSE IT'S ALL PUBLIC. AND SO UH, THE CHALLENGE THAT WILL HAVE WHEN FOLKS SEE OTHER PEOPLE'S SALARIES. YOU KNOW IF THEY'RE NOT ABOUT THE SAME OR AROUND THE SAME, IT CREATES OTHER PROBLEMS. BUT WE CAN REVISIT THIS AND WE CAN MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM. IF YOU GUYS LIKE SOMETHING AGREE TO UNDERSTAND. I UNDERSTAND. UNDERSTAND I UNDERSTAND. I GET IT. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. GUYS IN GOVERNMENT. I WORK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND I KNOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. IF WE HAVE TO GIVE THE INCREASE TO SOMEBODY AND YOU WANT TO BET ENOUGH LIKE WE'LL BE BACK TO VISIT IT SO. YES I'M SORRY. JUST BEFORE YOU MOVED ON. I JUST WANTED TO ASK HOWARD THIS THIS ITEM. IF I'M LOOKING AT IT, I THINK IT WAS DOING TWO THINGS. IT WAS IMPLEMENTING THE COLON. THE PAY PLAN. WAS IT ALSO ESTABLISHING ALSO, WE GOT, UH, ESTABLISHING POSITION OR STAB FISHING PLANS FOR FIVE POSITIONS. RIGHT SO WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DECIDE IF YOU DECIDE YOU WANT TO UM, NOT DO THE PAY PLAN. UH ADJUSTMENT, THEN WE'LL NEED YOU TO ADD THESE POSITIONS TO THE PAY PLAN. SO THAT WILL BE CAN THIS DO? WE NEED TO HAVE THE RIGHT VERB. IT'S FOR THE NEXT MEETING, SO NOBODY DON'T BE CONFUSED WHEN THEY LEAVE HERE, OR WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THAT AMENDMENT. OR CAN WE PULL THIS AND PUT IT ON THE NEXT AGENDA? YES, MADAM CLERK WOULD BE MAKING THIS AMENDMENT. OKAY I'M SORRY. YOUR QUESTION, OKAY. YEAH, UM SO DO WE MAKE A MOTION TODAY? I MEAN, IT'S UP TO THE COUNCIL, BUT OKAY, I'D LIKE THESE POSITIONS LIKE FOR THE POSITIONS TO BE ADDED TO THE PAY PLAN, AND THEN WE CAN TABLE THE DISCUSSION ON ADJUSTING THE PAY PLAN. THE I'LL MAKE EMOTION. IS THERE ALREADY A MOTION ON THE TABLE? HOLD ON. DISCUSSION YOU GOT ANYTHING TO DISCUSS BEFORE? NO OTHER THAN THERE IS EMOTION CURRENTLY ON THE TABLE. THANKS FOR SAYING NO, THERE'S NO MACHINE WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. IN THE CLERK WAS GOING TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE. GO AHEAD AND MAKE THE MOTION. I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO ADD THESE POSITIONS TO THE PAY PLAN. PLUS THE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS CORRECT. AND UNBUDGETED CONTINGENCIES. I SEE IT HERE.

IN THE PAPER. THIS IS JUST THE PAY PLANS THAT INCLUDE BENEFITS. OKAY SO I MAKE A MOTION TO ADD THESE POSITIONS TO THE PAY PLAN. YES. AND THE POSITIONS ARE ONE FULL TIME ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. ONE FULL TIME PERMIT TECHNICIAN, TOO. AND THREE PART TIME PARK RANGERS. IS THAT CORRECT? AND THE PUBLIC WORKS AND PUBLIC UTILITY AND RIGHT NOW WE DON'T KNOW. AND THE NO. NO YEAH, THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR AND THE UTILITIES DIRECTOR. OVER AND PERSONAL RIGHTS AND PARKS AND REC PARKS, RECREATION DIRECTOR.
