BACKGROUND:
During the final FY 12 budget meeting on August 22, staff presented survey results from
Grapevine's 18 comparison cities. Final survey results at that time revealed the average
increase planned by the other 18 cities was at 3 %. When the draft budget documents
were prepared and sent to Council on August 10, staff budgeted an increase of 1%,
based on the survey data available at that time. Consequently, at the August 22
meeting it was decided that we would re- survey the 18 cities after the start of the new
fiscal year to determine the average increase that was actually implemented by those
cities.
December 1, 2011 (11:13AM)
Survey results are in and confirm that the actual average increase given by the 18 cities
for FY 12 is a total of 3 %. While a 1% increase was implemented for Grapevine
employees on 10!1111 as budgeted, staff recommends that an additional 2% be
implemented retroactively to October 1 to maintain a competitive salary position relative
to the 18 cities for FY 12.
Staff recommends approval.
