11586.4 4 TO: Mayer and City Council FROM: Mark Bernhardson, City Administrator DATE: November 5, 1986 SUBJECT: Lyle Oman - Salary Increase ISSUE - Approval of a raise for Lyle Oman, Building Inspector effective September 4, 1986. DISCUSSION - Mr. Oman was hired by the City of Orono in 1984 on a program through his worker's comp carrier. Under the arrangement we would be guaranteed by worker's comp carrier $21,000 per year and the City would pay him a certain amount which started off at $14,820 per year. During this period of time Mr. Oman has been going to school and getting, his certification as a building inspector. Given the nature of the salary guarantee every timt that the City raised it's salary for Mr. Oman he got a reduction from worker's comp carrier so effectively he has had no increase since he started with the City. This has had a further impact as any overtime worked by him just reduced the guarantee from the worker's comp carrier. Mr. Oman has been doing an outstanding job for the City and ;,as allowed the City to make considerably more money in it's building inspection fees than %., t it has cost the City. Mr. Oman did receive his certificatic,:( as a building inspector on September 4, 1986. It is recommended that Mr. Oman's salary for 1986 be increased from the rate of $8.19 per hour to $10.721 per hour. This places him at an annual rate of $22,300 per year. At this rate he is still below the rate he would receive based on both the internal equity for comparable worth purposes and based on the market for this position. Based on Mr. Oman's experience, training and certification the public is now r9ceiving a better level of building inspection from the City than in the past and because of his level of expertise has allowed the City to enter into the cooperative agreeiaent with Wayzata. Additionally his expertise and experience has allowed us to reduce the amount we use to pay out to Metro West for bacx up inspection services of up to $6,500. RECOMMENDATION - It is recommended that Mr. Or-in's rate be 1ncreasecT from $8.19 per hour to $10.721 per hour, annual increase of approximately $5,250 commencing September 4, 1986 the (late of his certification and that the appropriate adjustment be made for his 1987 pay rate. PROPOSED MOTION - Moved by , seconded by , that the Council approve the salary increase for Mr. Lyle Oman to the amount of $10.721 per hour retroactive to September 4, 1986 and that the appropriate adjustment be done to the budget for 1967.
