Council member Brozosky stated his concern over the amount of time it has taken to do the public/private compensation survey. Mr. Fialho stressed they hope to have it done by early January or February. Staff was not able to get started with the process until August as it took some time to execute the agreement with the consultant. Staff is having difficulty in identifying businesses that are willing to participate and the parameters of comparison, which is time consuming. Staff clarified they are looking at other cities and private employers. In response to Council member Brozosky, Mr. Fialho advised that it would be best for the Council to collectively give an indication that they are interested in having staff pursue employee compensation as a part of the two-year budget process. Staff would include as part of that discussion some resolutions that identify compensation adjustments for managers in the first and second year of the operating budget. At that point, as part of the budget approval, Council would discuss and take action on the proposed compensation pools available for managers and confidential employees. Councilmember Brozosky stated he would definitely be supportive of the concept and asked that it be included in the motion.
