COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN
CITY OF COTTAGE GROVE
MINNESOTA
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Joe Fischbach, Human Resources Coordinator.
Date: December 28, 2012
Subject: Non - Represented Pay Plan
Introduction
At the August 8 City Council meeting staff brought an item to Council regarding job title and
duty changes. The City Council asked for some more information, specifically some proposed
job descriptions. If approved, all these changes would be effective Monday, January 14, 2013.
Background
As part of the 2013 budget, the City Council approved the position of Deputy Fire Chief /Fire
Marshal. This is a command level position that would typically work a Monday through Friday
schedule. This will assist with the scheduling of fire inspections and other administrative duties.
Currently, the Fire Marshal /Paramedic is a first responder Paramedic that frequently gets
called away from fire inspections. With this new position, this should be minimized as this
position will not be a primary responder to EMS calls. Because it is a command level position,
the position would come out of the union and be part of the Non - represented Pay Plan. The
first responder Paramedic duties would be covered by the hiring of a second full -time
Firefighter /Paramedic, also in the 2013 budget. Staff is recommending that the position of
Deputy Fire Chief /Fire Marshal be placed in Grade VI of the Non - represented Pay Plan. It
would be the same as the Deputy Fire Chief /EMS Coordinator. Staff is also recommending
formal approval of a title change for the EMS Coordinator to Deputy Fire Chief /EMS
Coordinator. This position has been operationally functioning as a Deputy Fire Chief with major
oversight of the EMS division and this action formally recognizes this. Essentially, these two
positions are second in command of the Fire Department and oversee the day -to -day functions
of both Fire and EMS. I have included current and proposed job descriptions for comparison.
As part of the Good to Great process each department has looked as its operations and has
attempted to provide a succession plan, as much as is feasible. In the Administration
department, it has been determined that a plan for succession needs to be in place for
elections, licensing, records, safety, insurance and FMLA administration. The operational
approach has been to plan for succession of these duties within the Human Resources
umbrella. With these increased duties and responsibilities, City Administrator Schroeder is
recommending that the Human Resources Coordinator position be retitled and the salary
grade be reclassified from Grade VII to Grade VIA. I have included current and proposed job
descriptions for comparison.
It was recommended that the Recreation Coordinator title be amended to Recreation
Supervisor to signify that the position serves a lead function within the Department. Since that
time, the Parks & Recreation Director has requested an increase in job duties and an
associated pay reclassification. It is requested that the position go from Grade VIII to Grade
VII. City Administrator Schroeder approves this request. I have included current and proposed
job descriptions for comparison.
Finally, as part of the discussion with the former AFSCME steward regarding transition to non -
represented status it was requested that the Office Clerk positions be re- titled as a morale
building move. We are proposing entitling these existing positions as Office Assistant (I and II)
without any change in grade or change in market comparisons. In making this change it is
further recommended for purposes of equitable treatment that the "Clerk" title in the
Accounting Clerk position be removed in favor of a "Specialist" title that does already exist
elsewhere within the pay plan (i.e. Economic Development Specialist). There would not be any
change in grade or change in market comparisons for this position.
Action
Council Action:
Adopt a Resolution approving the 2012 -2013 Non - Represented Pay Plan with the staff
recommended changes.

Administrator or designee.
Section 2. The EMPLOYER shall pay a maximum contribution per month per

coverage. Contribution amounts available but not used for medical coverage can
be used for dental insurance for the employee and the employee's dependents,
and toward the premium for additional life insurance, long -term disability
coverage, or additional benefits allowed under the City's flexible benefits plan.
Effective August 29, 2002, all new employees who work an average of thirty one
(31) hours per week or more must enroll in a minimum of single medical
coverage. Effective 1/1/2005 for current employees not waiving coverage, he /she
cannot waive coverage in the future. Further, effective 1/1/2005, if the employee
currently waives coverage and chooses to purchase coverage he /she cannot
later choose to waive coverage.
The employer contribution for 2012 and 2013 will be as follows:
HSA Plan
Single- 100% of premium
Single + One- 70% of premium
Single + Children- 70% of premium
Family- 70% of premium
HSA Elect Plan
Single- 100% of premium
Single + One- 70% of premium
Single + Children- 70% of premium
Family- 70% of premium
Both plans have a, $4,500- single and $9,000- all others, deductible. However,
the employee will be responsible for, $2,500- single and $5,000- all others, of the
deductible amount. The remainder will be covered by the employer through a
HRA. Of the $2,500/$5,000 amount the employer will contribute $1,000/$2,000 in
to the employee's HSA, on a matching basis. The employer contribution amount
is provided on a matching basis of 2 (two) employer dollars for every 1 (one)
dollar contributed by the employee, up to the annual employer maximum. The
employer HSA contributions will be made in four equal payments, the first pay
dates in January, April, July and October. Both plans will have an imbedded
2012 -2013 Pay Plan
Page 4
deductible. There is an 80/20 payment arrangement once the deductible is met,
whereby the insurance company pays 80 percent and the employee /employer
pay the other 20 percent, up to an out of pocket maximum. The out of pocket
maximums are, $5,800- single and $11,600- all others. If the employee /employer
experience out of pocket costs, the employer will cover the first $850- single and
$1,700- all others. The employee is then responsible for $450- single and $900 -
all others.
Employees currently receiving waiver compensation will continue to receive
waiver compensation. It will be $225 /month for full -time employees and
$112.50 /month for regular part -time benefit eligible employees. Employees who
waive but do not receive waiver compensation may still waive but will not receive
any waiver compensation. All new employees must enroll in a minimum of single
medical coverage. If an employee receiving waiver compensation elects City
insurance and then waives again in the future, they will not be eligible for the
waiver compensation.
Section 3 . The City shall pay the premium for group life insurance for all
permanent full -time employees; insurance to equal $1,000 coverage per $1,000
of annual base salary.
Section 4 . The Public Safety Director and Public Works Director shall be issued

Section 5 . Pensioned or pension - eligible former employees (including those who
were members of bargaining units during their employment) of the City may
continue participation in the City's group hospitalization, health, dental and life
insurance programs for themselves and their dependents, provided that such
former employee will be required to pay the full premium for such insurance
coverage by the first day of each month that coverage is desired. Insured
dependents may continue coverage upon death of the former employee.
The availability of such coverage to former employees and their dependents
shall be consistent with applicable State law and subject to whatever restrictions
or limitations may be placed on the coverage by the City's insurance carrier. The
City's policy somewhat exceeds minimum requirements of State law. The City
Administrator shall annually review the effect of the participation of former
employees and their dependents on the City's insurance program, and to the
extent not inconsistent with State law, the City Council retains the right to
terminate participation and /or otherwise modify the program when it is
