Summary of Municipal Order No. 2005 - 324 was read by the City Clerk. Human Resources
Director Michele Tolbert and Interim City Manager Ken Thompson outlined each of the recommended
changes, which included (a) [Section 1-3.2] a clarification regarding elected officials eligibility to
receive medical benefits, (b) [Section 2-2] the removal of the City Manager position from the

frequency of market studies and the type of pay adjustments considered in years when market studies
are not conducted, (d) [Section 2-4.3] the ability to provide a lump sum COLA and/or merit payment

eliminate salary adjustments for employees in a grade/rank based upon a promotion of another

Fire Chief Gerry Brown and Police Chief Bill Waltrip commented about the need to
compensate personnel when promoted and the benefits of selecting the current plan that allowed more

DeFebbo time to address the issue before changes are made.

plan. Comm. Nash agreed that the pay plan was flawed and that a piece meal approach would not fix
the problem. Comm. Simpson requested information as to the type of pay plans of other cities such as
Louisville, Lexington and Nashville. Board members agreed that the pay plan would be one of the
