ITEM:
Conclusion of the 2015 Evaluation of City Manager's Performance and Periodic Review of City
Manager's Base Salary.
BACKGROUND:
City legal counsel notified staff that the Governing Body concluded its annual review of the City
Manager's performance and its periodic review of the City Manager's base salary during its February
8, 2016 meeting. Staff was asked to prepare this item in anticipation of Governing Body action relating
to the City Manager's base salary.
City employees generally are eligible in 2016 for a merit -based increase in base salary of up to three
percent (3%), effective upon their respective employment anniversary date and dependent upon the
results of their annual performance evaluation. The Governing Body has advised staff of its intent to
award the City Manager with a merit -based increase in base salary of three percent (3%) retroactive to
January 1, 2016, The City Manager's current base salary is $144,375.50. A 3% increase ($4,103) will
result in a modified base salary of $148,707. The last merit adjustment to the City Manager's base
salary was initiated in March 2015, retroactive to January 1, 2015. On January 1, 2016 a 2.5% cost of
living adjustment was applied in the same method as all other employees.
FISCAL NOTE:
The fiscal impact of any modification of the City Manager's base salary will be equal to the amount of
the change in the base salary, plus any expense to the City directly resulting from the change in base
salary such as the City's share of the KPERS contribution, ICMA deferred compensation, and payroll
taxes.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal #3: The City will provide the highest quality of services, consistent with governing body direction,
available resources and staff commitment to quality.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
The matters of evaluation of the City Manager's performance and the determination of the City
Manager's base salary are strictly within the purview and discretion of the Governing Body, therefore,
staff makes no recommendation. If the Governing Body chooses to award the City Manager with a
merit -based increase in base salary of 3%, they may do so by approving the following motion:
"Mayor, I move that the City Manager be awarded a merit -based increase in base salary of 3%,
retroactive to January 1, 2016, and that the Human Resources Director take such actions as are
necessary to implement the change."
