effective January 1, 2009. The employment agreement and compensation
resolution for the City Manager and Clerk of the Council, respectively,
apply the salary increase provisions of Resolution 07-048 to those
officials' salaries. The amount and timing of increases in the salaries,
which include the aforementioned salary increase, for the Fire Chief and
City Attorney are governed by Resolutions Nos. 01-089 and 04-101,
respectively.
E. In an ongoing effort to maintain the City's financial stability in a difficult
economic climate, the City's Executive Management Team has
recommended that the City Council amend the aforesaid resolutions to
suspend the salary increases scheduled for January 1, 2009 for all
classifications of employment designated as unrepresented Executive
Management (EM).
Section 2: Resolutions No. 07-048, 01-089 and 04-101 are hereby amended
to suspend the previously scheduled two and one-half percent (2.5%) salary increase
