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, to provide a transparent process of wage setting, and to maintain the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. Section 232 COMPENSATION of the City’s Personnel Manual reads as follows: 232.3 JOB CLASSIFICATIONS 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 a similar classification at other comparative Washington State public entities (Eastern Washington is given preference). The city uses the Association of Washington Cities (AWC) Salary and Benefits Survey as the primary source of information to determine comparative Washington State public entities. The City Council should review and establish, by resolution, which public entities are comparable to the City on even years.
