An appointive employee compensation committee is established to oversee the administration of the compensation and performance management plan. The committee is comprised of seven members who are appointive employees and are selected to serve on the committee by the mayor. Under the direction/approval of the mayor and city administration, the compensation committee’s responsibilities include the ongoing establishment, management, and revision of all appointive employee compensation rules and procedures. The committee also reviews and evaluates performance management plans and other programs that affect the compensation of covered employees, and it approves job class evaluations and market studies, as necessary.
