Human Resources will determine the “75th percentile” of the salary maximums paid. The 75th percentile will be calculated as the average between the median maximum salary of the established market cities and the highest-paid maximum salary of those same market cities. Any Unit Employee whose base salary is below the newly established range minimum from the December 2017 market survey for his/her classification will receive a salary increase to that new minimum to be effective in the pay period this MOU is ratified and approved by City Council.

Any Unit Employee whose base salary is below the newly established range minimum from the November 2019 market survey for his/her classification will receive a salary increase to that new minimum to be effective in the first pay period ending in January of 2020. If an adjustment to a salary range causes the maximum of the range to fall below the existing maximum, the actual salary of any employee who was being paid above the new, lower maximum will be maintained (“red-lined”) until further market movement increases the maximum beyond the maintained amount.
