The <br /> City's current compensation plan is fair and equitable but needs to be reviewed to <br /> achieve the Council's strategic directives. To accomplish a flat levy for our residents, <br /> we must analyze how to contain personnel costs which are continuously rising as <br /> shown in Table 1. <br /> Table 1 - Recent history for wage increases: <br /> Consumer <br /> Year Union Non-Union Price Index <br /> 2013 1.00% 1.00% 1.70% YTD <br /> 2012 7/1 1.00% 1.00% 1.70% <br /> 2011 1.00% 1.00% 3.00% <br /> 2010 1.00% 1.00% 1.50% <br /> 2009 3.00% 3.50% 2.70% <br /> 2009 7/1 0.50% <br /> 2008 3.00% 3.00% 0.10% <br /> 2008 7/1 0.50% <br /> 2007 4.00% 3.00% 4.10% <br /> 2006 3.00% 3.00% 2.50% <br /> 2005 3.00% 3.00% 3.40% <br /> 2004 3.00% 3.00% 3.30% <br /> 2003 3.00% 3.00% 1.90% <br /> 2002 3.50% 3.75% 2.40% <br /> 2002 7/1 0.50% <br /> 2001 3.00% 3.25% 1.60% <br /> 2001 7/1 0.50% <br /> 2000 2.00% 2.00% 3.40% <br /> 2000 7/1 1.00% 1.00% <br /> Avera e 2.68% 2.54% 2.47% <br /> 1 <br />
