CREATING A NEW OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT/ ACCOUNTING ASSISTANT, ADDING A NEW CHAPTER 2.08 TO THE EAST WENATCHEE MUNICIPAL CODE; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 99-12-10 First reading of an ordinance establishing a salary schedule for non -bargaining unit employees. Mayor Lacy said the salary schedule is a product of collaborative efforts of the Budget Committee. He added the salary schedule is a way for employees to know what is going to happen and what the future holds. Councilmember Carson said the Mayor has a good premise behind the salary schedule. He said the research of the Budget Committee indicated the proposed salaries were commensurate with those across the state. Councilmember Nash said she had never seen a government agency not use a step plan. She said the Budget Committee spent a great deal of time reviewing each job description of the City compared to other cities of the same size, in the Association of Washington Cities Salary Survey Book. Councilmember Aiken said the step plan would provide continuity and consistency to City employees. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Nash, second by Councilmember Buckner to elevate the ordinance establishing a salary schedule for non -bargaining unit employees to second reading. The motion carried, 6-1. (Hendricks) City Attorney Zimmerman said per resolution number 90-9, in order to elevate an ordinance to second reading, there must be a full affirmative vote from Council present; or at the discretion of the mayor, that requirement, may be suspended. Mayor Lacy suspended the requirements of section 2 of City resolution 90-9 and entertained a motion for final passage of the ordinance. Mayor Lacy explained that normally he would never exercise that discretion, however because of the timing and with less than full Council at the next meeting, he felt it was necessary. Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Buckner, second by Councilmember Nash to adopt the ordinance establishing a salary schedule for non -bargaining unit employees. The motion carved, 6-1.
