WHEREAS, the City has approved a union contract settling matters of wages, hours and working
conditions with Police, Fire, and General Government labor bargaining units affiliated with the
Teamsters Union effective January 1, 1999; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the City Council to treat its unrepresented employees in equity
with union employees regarding across the board or cost of living salary increases given said
union employees; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to create a contractual instrument to formally set forth terms and
conditions reached in agreement with said unrepresented employees and providing a mechanism
whereby the City Manager may evaluate Department Heads and apply a similar equity within
limitations of the professional equity market rate median for the particular position,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend as
follows:
SECTION 1. Salaries of all unrepresented employees, except Department Heads, shall be
adjusted with a cost of living increase by the same formula and effective dates as the employees
of the General Government unit of the Teamsters Union, provided employees of each separate
department shall elect a representative to be signatory to this resolution/agreement authorizing
same.
SECTION 2. The City Manager is hereby authorized to conduct position comparisons in the
State of Washington to determine professional market rate median salaries for Department
Heads. Upon determining that both an existing salary level is below the professional market rate
median and performance of the employee justifies a salary adjustment, the City Manager may
apply a salary increase which shall not exceed the same cost of living formula and effective dates
applied to union and other non-union employees. Each employee so receiving a salary
adj~t, shall be signatory to this resolution/agreement by memo of acceptance.
