6.f Staff Report - City Treasurer Step Increase
Memorandum
Date: January 15, 2021
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
From: Ken Cammilleri, City Administrator
Re: Step Increase for the City Treasurer
Background:
Under the City’s Compensation 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.
City Treasurer Colleen Firkus began employment with the City of Scandia on January 12, 1996 and
has completed her 25th year of service to the City of Scandia.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Treasurer Colleen Firkus?
Proposal Details:
I recommend Firkus receive the next closest step increase on the approved 2019 Wage Scale
approved in 2020 retroactive to her anniversary date. Her current rate is $21.98. This change
would move the Treasurer to Step 6 at $22.43 per hour.
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective January 12, 2021
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
