body

DEPARTMENT:  Central Human Resources

 

ORIGINATOR:  Sarah Gilliam

 

EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 11/26/25

 

PURPOSE: RELATING TO TERMS OF EMPLOYMENT FOR EXEMPT POSITIONS; AND AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 25-071

 

BACKGROUND: Ordinance 25-071 approved by Council on November 5, 2025 authorized the conversion of exempt positions to the 2026 classified / non-classified rate table.  The formula for this conversion was a comparison on top step pay rate of the exempt position to top step pay rate on the classified / non-classified table.  Contrary to other exempt positions, the Law Clerk/Bailiff classification is currently paid a single rate.  Moving this classification to a pay range based on the top step has an effect of devaluing the classification.  This proposed ordinance modifies the previously approved ordinance to transition the Law Clerk/Bailiff to pay grade 238.  It also provides for individual step placement of current employees based on their tenure in the classification.
