Personnel and Finance Committee August 26, 1993 Page 2 duties and responsibilities for all positions approved in the 1994 salary ordinance which deviated from the City guidelines of 1 1/2 %plus a$300.00 bonus. He concluded that if this problem was not resolved that he would offer$5,000 of his salary for next year to be earmarked for an additional$1,000 increase for each of the positions in question. Mr. Schalliol stated that he believes that each of these five (5) positions is underpaid, but appreciated whatever could be done. Council President Luecke stated that technical corrections by a separate ordinance would be forthcoming from the City Administration. Councilmember Coleman stated that this issue had been debated when the salary ordinance was before the Common Council for public hearing. He suggested that perhaps the jobs could be re-evaluated in the future but would feel uncomfortable making any changes on these positions now. Councilmember Washington again requested that all positions be detailed with the additional duties if any listed, and especially those which are to receive between$1,200 to $2,000 increases. He stated again that the City's position is unconscionable on this topic. Councilmember Puzzello suggested that there be further discussion between Councilmember Washington,Mr. Schalliol, and the City Administration to see if there are any other alternatives to addressing Councilmember Washington's concern. Council President Luecke noted that both the salary ordinance and the budget would need to be properly amended. Mr. Horton suggested that perhaps an additional appropriation could be considered.
