SALARY RANGE FOR CITY MANAGER SEARCH MATERIALS: Ms. McDougal presented the staff report and requested direction in advertising the salary range for the City Manager job posting/advertisement. Based on their research, using the City's population, the Waters-Oldani firm suggests a salary range of$125,000 - 150,000 for the search materials. Council discussed whether the comparable cities' data was based on full-service cities, population, or Mayor/Council forms of government. Council further asked if performance pay incentives and other fringe benefits such as deferred compensation and a car allowance were included in the suggested range. Ms. McDougal clarified that the suggested range would only be inclusive of the base salary and that a final compensation package, including base salary and any additional benefits would be negotiated with the final candidate. The Waters-Oldani firm feels its important to advertise a base salary to give prospective candidates an idea of the salary for this position and whether or not it would suit their requirements. Council directed staff to advertise the position with a starting salary range of $125,000 to $150,000. ADJOURNMENT Mayor Park adjourned the Special Meeting at 6:44 P.M.
