I <br /> Mr. Czech requested clarification of ordinance amendment Section 17-7.5, ', <br /> 2.D.(1) on the definition of a rear lot for a lake lot. Mayor Adams noted <br /> that this inquiry would be addressed during agenda item 6.3. i <br /> 5. Presentations � <br /> 5.1 Classification 8� Compensation Studv , <br /> � <br /> David Drown from David Drown Associates provided a presentation on the <br /> proposed benchmark communities and jobs for the City's classification <br /> and compensation study. Mr. Drown noted this project will consist of an �� <br /> initial project meeting, kickoff meeting, market analysis, project team I <br /> recommendation, final report to Council and job classification appeal, and � <br /> ongoing maintenance. The study process will entail reviewing and scoring <br /> jobs, comparing information with neighboring communities on ' <br /> compensation and benefits, and analyzing State requirements for <br /> comparable worth. The job evaluation tool includes factors relating to <br /> qualifications, decision making, problem solving, relationships, effort, and <br /> conditions/hazards. Mr. Drown explained that Council consideration is <br /> needed to determine the benchmark communities and jobs that should be <br /> utilized for this study. His recommendation is to benchmark all of the jobs <br /> within the City as the number of jobs are relatively small. <br /> Council Member Pederson questioned how the disparity of local <br /> govemment aid, levy, and tax capacity among the benchmark <br /> communities can provide an apples to apples outcome for the study. Mr. <br /> Drown noted the importance of having a relatively large data set so we <br /> don't get bogged down on the details and a comparison group of <br /> communities similar in size and services are what needs to be considered. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER LOUKOTA MOVED TO APPROVE THE <br /> BENCHMARK COMMUNITIES AS PRESENTED AND TO UTILIZE ALL <br /> CITY JOBS FOR BENCHMARKING.
