STAFF RECOMMENDATION. Enact Resolution Authorizing the Execution of the Fire PERS /9 -1 -1
Calltakers and Public Safety Dispatchers and Lead Dispatchers Collective Bargaining Agreements. Adopt
Classification and Compensation Ordinance.
Ordinance B includes a reallocation of the Pohce Chief classification from pay range 964 ($6,502 -
$7,897/mo) to pay range 963 ($6,826 - $8,294 /mo) The purpose of this adjustment is to place the
City of Yakima urt a more attractive economic position in our second recruitment effort for the
vacant Pohce Chief position. During the first recruitment we became aware that our Police Chief
salary was lower than many other Police Chief advertisements. Competitively, this has placed the
City of Yakima in a disadvantageous position m the marketplace to recruit and retain qualified
individuals with the expertise necessary for this level of responsibility Additionally, the salary
compression within the police management ranks provides little economic incentive to promote to
the Chief's position. A copy of the memorandum recommending this adjustment is attached for
reference.

Memorandum
Date March 13, 2003
To Mayor and City Council Members
From. Dick Zais, City Manager l ,V
Sub) Police Chief Compensation Adjustment
The City of Yakima is beginning a second recruitment process for the current Pohce
Chief vacancy During the first recruitment we became aware that our Police Chief
salary was lower than many other Pohce Chief advertisements. Competitively, this has
placed the City of Yakima in a disadvantageous position in the marketplace to recruit
and retain qualified individuals with the expertise necessary for this level of
responsibility Due to salary compression within the police management ranks, there is
little economic incentive to promote to the Chief's position. Currently, there is
approximately a 10% difference between top step Police Chief and Police Captain and
approximately a 10% spread between top step Police Captain and Police Lieutenant, not
mcludrg any overtime earnings.
Consequently, to assist us with a successful outcome to this current search process, we
have conducted a current salary survey for the Police Chief classification. Attachment
A reports the results of the salary survey which indicates that our 2003 top step
compensation for Police Chief is 9 6% or $758 00 per month below the 2002 top step
compensation for other comparable cities with of a population of 35,000 to 85,000
To increase our competitiveness m the marketplace, it is recommended that the Police
Chief classification be reallocated from pay range 964 ($6,502/mo - $7,897/mo) to 963
($6,826/mo - $8,294 /mo) This reallocation places the Police Chief classification one
pay range below the Assistant City Manager classification at pay range 962 ($7,162/mo
- $8,710/mo) It is important to note that that the actual cost of filling this vacancy, even
with the reallocation to a higher pay range, will be less than the cost of the incumbent
who recently retired. This is due to the fact that any new employee will not be ehgible
for longevity pay for five years and the employee who retired was receiving longevity
at 9 0 %.
We recognize that at a point in the future we will want to review the compensation
levels of other management positions, however, in our current economic climate, this is
not the appropriate time to do so In summary, if we do not maintain a competitive
position m the marketplace m the regional northwest or Washington state, it will be a
deterrent to hiring the best and brightest to meet our organizational needs. Yakima
