AN ORDINANCE
BY MAYOR DUNCAN NO 4968
AN ORDINANCE TO REPEAL ORDINANCE NUMBER 4948 AND ESTABLISH AN AMENDED PERSONNEL SCHEDULE DATED DECEMBER 5, 2022 AND TO DECLARE AN EMERGENCY.

A copy of the ordinance, having been placed on the desks of each member of Council prior to introduction, was read by title.

Mayor Duncan explained that this is an ordinance to update the City's personnel schedule. For all non-bargaining unit employees except Temporary Seasonal Employees, the updated schedule authorizes pay increases of 2.95% in 2023. These are responsible increases for the non-union employees that are consistent with the raises authorized by current collective bargaining agreements for union employees. Pay for Temporary Seasonal Employees has also been increased to ensure that these positions remain competitive in the job marketplace.

This ordinance is being introduced as an emergency measure to ensure that it takes effect as of the first pay period of 2023, which begins on December 19, 2022.

Thereupon, it was moved by Mayor Duncan and seconded by Mrs. Hilton that the ordinance be passed as an emergency measure.

This ordinance will increase the maximum compensation for all court employee job classifications by 2.95%, consistent with increases for union and non-bargaining unit employees.
