moved its adoption:
RESOLUTION NO. 98-243
RESOLUTION SETTING SALARIES AND BENEFITS FOR THE CALENDAR
YEAR 1999
WHEREAS, Section 2.07 of the City Charter for the City of Brooklyn Center
states that the City Council is to fix the salary and benefits of all officers and employees of the
City; and
WHEREAS, the 1984 Minnesota Pay Equity Act requires every political
subdivision to establish "equitable compensation relationships" between its employees; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed the 1999 Full-time Employee Pay
Plan; and
WHEREAS, an individual employee's movement through their respective pay
schedule reflects a progression in corresponding levels or improved job performance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center hereby sets wages, salaries and benefits for the calendar year 1999 by adoption
of the attached Plan and also allows the City Manager to set appropriate increases to the part-
time schedule to be consistent with other employee groups, which the City Manager shall be
authorized to pay..
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager may reclassify, adjust, add
and/or delete position(s) to pay grades in the Plans but is limited to authorizing increases due
to Pay Equity Act compliance and by the Annual Budget constraints adopted by the City
Council; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the 1999 Full-time Pay Plan is approved and
adopted because it is in general an equitable pay plan for City employees; however, parts of the
Plan are approved and adopted solely for the purpose of compliance with the mandate of
Minnesota Statutes, Sections 471.999; that adoption of said Plan shall create no vested rights,
terms or conditions of employment or entitlement to any given level of compensation for any
employee or group of employees; that said Plan shall be subject to continuing review and
reconsideration and may be amended from time-to-time by the City Council; and
RESOLUTION NO. 98-24.3
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Manager be authorized to employ
full and part-time and/or temporary employees as may be necessary, and to establish competitive
rates of pay for such help consistent with the 1999 budget appropriations and to make interim
appointments to fill vacant positions whenever a position is vacant because the regular employee
is on leave of absence, vacation leave, sick leave, or is absent for any other reason, and to
establish rates of pay for such appointments consistent with the 1999 budget appropriations; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that authorized wage adjustments, not to exceed
the maximums contained herein, shall become effective January 1, 1999.
