5.f Staff Report-Step Increase-Firkus§CAND'IA
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: January 16, 2018
To: City Council
From: Neil Soltis, City Administrator
Re: Step Increase, Firkus
Background:
In July 2013 the City Council approved a City of Scandia Compensation Policy (Resolution 07-16-
13-03). Under the policy, each year on an employee's anniversary date following a satisfactory
performance review and with approval by the City Council, the employee is eligible to receive a
step increase.
Colleen's began working for the City on January 12, 1996.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Treasurer Firkus?
Proposal Details:
On January 12 1 met with Colleen for her annual review. A review of work completed over the
past year as it relates to Firkus' job duties and the attainment of 2017 goals was discussed and
goals were established for the coming year. Collen's performance met or exceeded expectation
in all elements.
I recommend Firkus receive a step increase from $20.72/hr. to $21.13 effective on her
anniversary date.
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective January 12, 2018.
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
