2.1. Preamble. The City Council of East Wenatchee (“City Council”) desires to establish
a consistent method to determine whether the wages of its employees correspond to
general market conditions.
Section 4.3 of the City’s Manual of Personnel Policies and Procedures reads as follows:
SALARY CLASSIFICATION GRADES AND PAY RATES
(a) Each job title within the City is classified, for salary, into one of the City’s
classifications based on job qualifications, level of responsibility, difficulty,
working conditions, skill hazard, and amount of supervision required for the
specific position. Each classification is assigned a range that corresponds to
the general market conditions for similar classification at other comparative
Eastern Washington public entities. From time to time, the City Council will
establish, by resolution, which public entities are comparable to the City.
Accordingly, the City Council intends to complete the process contemplated by Section
4.3 by establishing which public entities the City will compare itself to for salary
purposes.
