SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The attached ordinance amends the Classification and Compensation Plan to implement wage
adjustments pursuant to current collective bargaining agreements effective January 1, 2002.
These adjustments are required by the terms of the current YPPA (Yakima Police Patrolman's
Association), AFSCME - Municipal, and IAFF Fire LEOFF /PERS /Public Safety Dispatchers
collective bargaining agreements. Negotiations are ongoing with the AFSCME- Transit bargaining
unit and therefore no adjustment is included in this ordinance.
Pursuant to my November 6, 2001 notice to the Council, this ordinance also incorporates the
management pay and compensation adjustments which would take effect pursuant to the
current formula prescribed in the Yakima Municipal Code, Section 2.20.116B. Attachment A is
a copy of the November 6, 2001 memorandum to Council outlining the requirements of the
current Municipal Code provisions is attached for information purposes. Additionally, this
memorandum described benefit changes to longevity pay, bereavement leave and sick leave
cashouts. Attachment B is an ordinance adjusting the longevity pay schedule for management
employees amending subsection 13 of Section 2.24.010 of Chapter 2.24 of the City of Yakima
Municipal Code. Attachment C is an ordinance increasing the maximum compensation a
management employee may receive for exchange of sick leave upon leaving service with the City
and providing three days of bereavement leave for management employees for the death of an
immediate family member amending subsections B and E of Section 2.40.030 of Chapter 2.40
and adding new Section 2.40.035 to Chapter 2.40 of the City of Yakima Municipal Code.
This classification and compensation ordinance also incorporates the recommendations of the
Charter Civil Service Commission on the 2001 reclassification studies effective January 1, 2002.
Attachment D is a report from the Charter Civil Service Chief Examiner regarding the 2001
reclassifications. The office of the Chief Examiner received 12 requests for reclassifications and
four new classifications for 2001.
