The Village's Salary Administration Policy provides for pay ranges to

Giry-Lake County "All Items" Consumer Price Index (.♦CPC') for the

twelve months ending on the preceding September 30, or based on
other factors, in the Board's discretion. The Salary Administration
Policy also provides that the Salary Plan will be fiirther monitored by
means of a consultant pay and classification study on a triennial basis.
The most recent such review was completed in 1997 and
implemented in 1998. That review consisted of both an internal
assessment of job responsibilities relative to pay and an external
market wage survey using the comparable communities that were
identified in the 1997 arbitration proceeding involving the Village
and Teamsters Local 714—Law Enforcement Division.
Because the Village now, for the first time, has an arbitrated list of
comparable communities, it is appropriate to not only consider the
CPI when determining the range adjustment, but also the pay
practices of the comparable communities. In addition, the U. S.
Department of Labor also tracks wage trends expressed as the
Employment Cost Index (ECI). All of these elements were
considered in developing the proposed rant a adjustment for 1999.
The proposed 1999 Salary Plan reflects an adjustment of 3.2 percent
to all pay grades. Although the September CPI was only 2.0 percent,
the ECI was a full percentage point higher at 3.0. Additionally, the
average May 1, 1998 range adjustment among the Village's
comparable communities was 3.26 percent.
Staff's goal in setting the 1999 range adjustment was to ensure that
salary ranges remain in the same relative position among the
comparable communities as they were after the implementation of the
1997 compensation study. Staff applied each of the comparable
communities stated range adjustment to the salary information
obtained in the 1997 study, and then applied several possible
adjustments to Oak Brook's ranges by position. Each of the
benchmark positions were then reviewed to determine which
percentage would keep positions in the same relative ranking among
the comparable communities.
The majority of the benchmark positions retained their position
among the comparable communities with a 3.2 percent increase.
While there were a number of positions that retained their position
with a 3.0 percent increase, several would have lost ground relative to
the comparable communities if a 3.0 percent increase were applied.
The 1999 Budget includes an overall wage escalation figure of 3.5
percent for non-Union positions. Given that both the CPI and ECI are
lower than even the average wage adjustment seen in the comparable
VILLAGE OF OAK BROOK Minutes 5 of 16 December 8, 1998
77
communities, staff recommends that the adjustment be set at 3.2
percent in order for Oak Brook salaries to remain competitive in the
market.
The other changes reflected in the 1999 Salary Plan include:
Deletion of the Police Records Supervisor position (retitled
"Administrative Assistant" in recognition of an expansion of duties
including secretarial assistance to the Police Chief and supervision of
all clerical functions and personnel in the Police Department);
Addition of a Deputy Village Clerk in Grade 5;and
Addition of an Information Services Technician in Grade 5.
Amendments to the Salary Administration Policy reflect that, in
addition to the CPI, the Village is also considering the ECI and the
pay practices in the comparable communities when establishing the
range adjustment. The other amendments are of a housekeeping
nature.
Vt Motion by Trustee Caleel, seconded by Trustee Kenny, to pass
Resolution 98-SAP-EX2-R-714, "A Resolution Approving The
Salary Plan And Salary Administration Policy For Non-Union
Employees For 1999", as presented and waive the full reading
thereof. ROLL CALL VOTE:
Ayes: 5 - Trustees Caleel, Kenny, McInerney, Savino and
Shumate.
Nays: 0 - None.
Absent: I - Trustee Bartecki. Motion carried.
Village Manager Veitch noted that we are now seeing the
employment cost index and for the first time the Village has
arbitrated comparable communities. In considering all of these
factors, the goal recommended is a top-of-grade adjustment of 3.2.
The just approved budget provided for an adjustment of up to 3.2, so
the Village is well within the appropriation just approved.
President Bushy explained that our represented employees, while the
contract discussions are proceeding. do not receive any of these
increases until the signed agreements are reached by their different
bargaining units.
However, those represented employees moving
through the range do receive their merit increases.
Assistant Manager Crotty pointed out that a part-time employee has
been upgraded to full time, so that page 2 of Exhibit A needs to be
amended to show a Secretary in Grade 3 for the Library.
