J
c. City Administrative Pay Plan Study - Ockenfels stated the
City's pay plan has not been completed. The Commission had
postponed discussion of the Airport Manager's pay plan until the
City's study was completed. The study was scheduled to be
completed in September or October, but has not been completed as
yet.
The pay schedule that was negotiated with O'Neil at the time he was
hired did not completely correspond to the plan on the City's pay
plan. Last December, the Commission voted to provide a bonus to
compensate for the difference between the two pay plans. Because
the City' s pay planwas to be completed in September, no step
increase or cost of living was discussed in July. No salary
adjustment has been made since the bonus in December 1991.
Blum suggested an adjustment could be made to the Manager' s salary
by way of a bonus similar to last year. Horan made a motion for a
resolution for a bonus to adjust the Airport Manager's salary.
Ockenfels seconded the motion. At roll call vote, the motion
passed 5 - 0. Ockenfels will meet with the City's Personnel
Department to determine the correct amount of a bonus to reflect
any step or cost of living increase.
O'Neil stated that the Commission should review the job description
included in the information packet to determine if it correctly
reflects the duties and responsibilities of the Airport Manager
position.
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT:

concerning litigation from the Fitzgarrald case. The ruling was
favorable to the Airport' s position.

annex approximately 20 acres adjacent to Airport property. Blum
stated the Airport Zoning Commission should review this annexation
and rezoning. Blum directed O'Neil to schedule a meeting for the
Airport Zoning Commission. Burnside will research what the duties
are of the Airport Zoning Commission.
