Salary Commission February 26, 2014 <br />NEW BUSINESS The Chair directed the Commission to proceed to the next order of business, <br />Item 6): New Business. <br />A) REVIEW OF EXISTING COMPENSATION PLAN TO INCLUDE <br />CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE DECISION-MAKING ON PROPOSALS <br />FOR ADJUSTMENTS TO CURRENT SALARIES OF EXECUTIVES AND <br />ELECTED OFFICIALS <br />(At this time, Ms. Sharon Toriano, Director, and Mr. Nicholas Hermes, <br />Deputy Director, Department of Human Resources, came forward.) <br />Ms. Toriano informed the Commissioners that she consulted with the Department <br />of Finance regarding the timeframe for the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget, which <br />they would be wrapping up shortly. They are urging the Salary Commission to <br />provide any information or recommendations to them as quickly as possible in <br />order to take effect, or at least they would be able to plan for any impacts for the <br />upcoming fiscal year. <br />At this time, Mr. Hermes introduced himself, and Ms. Toriano introduced the other <br />Department of Human Resources staff present, in particular, she thanked Jenny for <br />crunching all of the numbers contained in the proposals. <br />Ms. Toriano referenced the hand-outs entitled, "COMPARISON OF <br />EXECUTIVES AND SUBORDINATES SALARIES — (Immediate Concern <br />Adiustments)" containing Proposals #1 and #2 (SEE ATT. A); and <br />"COMPARISON OF EXECUTIVES AND SUBORDINATES SALARIES (4% or <br />greater adjustment)" containing Proposals #3 and #4 (SEE ATT. B). She <br />proceeded with an explanation of the four proposals: <br />Proposal #1: In the past, there was discussion concerning positions that <br />needed to be reviewed, which are highlighted in yellow. These positions <br />include: Mayor, Managing Director, Deputy Managing Director, Parks and <br />Recreation Director, and Parks and Recreation Deputy Director. <br />The column highlighted ("Proposed Salary 07/01/14") is the proposed <br />salary effective July 1, 2014, and the column to the right of that <br />("INCREASE AMOUNT") is the dollar value of that increase. In the <br />"Comments" column, the salary represents a 5% increase. <br />Proposal #2: Still addressing the five positions stated above, Proposal #2 <br />has a "Proposed Salary" effective "07/01/14" and that the column to the <br />right of that ("INCREASE AMOUNT") is the dollar value of that increase. <br />In the "Comments" column, the salary is closer to that of the Chief of <br />Police/Fire. <br />Page 3 <br />
