SUBJECT: Revised 2015-2016 Salaries, Ordinance 917

ATTACHMENT: Draft Ordinance 917


RECOMMENDED BY: Bob Jean, Interim City Manager REVIEWED BY: City Manager, Finance, City Attorney

STAFF EXPLANATION: It is a good business practice for a public organization to evaluate employee’s salaries on a regular basis. A normal interval for this process is usually between three and five years. This process makes sure that the salary levels are consistent with similar cities. This is a key factor in assuring that the city is competitive in the market. It allows the city to retain our talented and dedicated staff and to recruit quality people when the need arises.

This study was completed by interns under my direction and guidance. The results and explanation of the process have been communicated to Council at closed session meetings. The like cities used for comparison were Burien, Des Moines, SeaTac, Black Diamond, and University Place. Similarly, cities that were slightly larger and smaller in size compared to Normandy Park were also reviewed.

Note: Police Officers that are included in the Collective Bargaining Unit (CBU) staff represented by Teamsters, and the City Manager position were not included in the survey as those positions have salaries that are determined by another process.

As all of the positions did not receive a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and had their step raise frozen for three years ending in 2012, the City Manager recommends a full implementation of the market study with the 2.0% COLA effective July 1, 2015.

FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact of bringing Management/Professional staff to market is included in the $80,000 budget for market adjustment and COLA.

COUNCIL OPTIONS:1. Adopt Ordinance 917 as presented.2. Adopt Ordinance 917 with specified changes.3. Refer to staff for further review.4. Take no action.

RECOMMENDED MOTION:“I move to adopt Ordinance 917, an ordinance authorizing Interim City Manager Bob Jean to implement the proposed 2015-2016 pay scale with a 2% cost of living adjustment and market adjustment as presented."

SUBJECT: Stormwater Utility Tax Increase-Ordinance 918

ATTACHMENT(S): 1. Draft Ordinance 918

PRESENTED BY: Jennifer Ferrer-Santa Ines, Finance Director

RECOMMENDED BY: Bob Jean, Interim City Manager REVIEWED BY: Finance, City Attorney

STAFF EXPLANATION: The City currently assesses a 6% tax rate on the stormwater utility receipts. A recent review of the adopted 2015-2016 biennial budget indicates the need to address declining revenues and increasing expenses outside of the City’s control including pension plan contributions, contractual increases, and healthcare costs to name a few.

The proposal to increase the storm water utility tax from 6% to 8% is one of the revenue enhancement options the City is considering to bring additional revenue into the General Fund to meet current service levels. Last year the City recognized $39,302 in stormwater utility tax.

Below shows the amount recognized each year in the General Fund for interfund utility taxes. The amounts for 2015 and 2016 are estimated. The 2016 figure represents the utility tax rate at 8%.

2013 2014 2015 2016Stormwater Utility Tax 33,098$ 39,302$ 40,000$ 50,000$

The decision to not increase the stormwater utility tax rate would require other measures, which could include budget reductions or alternative revenue sources.

FISCAL IMPACT: The increase to 8% stormwater utility tax would generate approximately $10,000 more in revenues to the General Fund.
