SUBJECT: FEDERAL MINIMUM WAGE ADJUSTMENTS
SUMMARY: Staff is requesting that the City Council approve wage adjustments for five
positions to comply with the federal minimum wage.
BACKGROUND:
Effective January 1, 2001, the new federal minimum wage was increased from $5.75 per hour to
$6.25 per hour. Currently there are five limited service positions in the City for which the first
step in the salary range is designed to be at minimum wage. They are Clerk Aide I, Recreation
Assistant, Swimming Pool Cashier, Food Service Worker, and Police Reserve Officer. It is
necessary to increase the first step to the new minimum wage for these classes to be in
compliance with the federal guidelines. The other two steps will be adjusted consistent with the
practice of maintaining five percent increments between steps.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost of the proposed adjustments will be approximately $2,090 for the remainder of the
fiscal year. Funds are available in the departments' budgets.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the following Resolution:
