A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF DELRAY BEACH,
FLORIDA AMENDING THE "ADt~AINISTRATIVE CODE"
~D PROVIDING FOR "JOB CLASSIFICATIONS and
COMPENSATION P~G~GES".
WHEREAS, the Compensation Re~ges and Job Classifications, as
adopted informally by the City Management some years ago (as a part
of the so-called 'Administrative Code'), have not been changed to
reflect either the now-current rates of pay for municipal jobs in
comparably sized towns in Florida, or the changes which, over the
years, have occurred in the relative importance of such jobs; and
WHEREAS, proper and adequate, competitive, compensation at all
job levels, as well as the relative importance of City jobs one to
another, has been the object of an intensive study by the Business
Counsel for the City, the City M~agement Staff, and a Special
"Wages and Hours" Committee; and
WIiEREAS, the broad results of the noted studies have been
crystallized in two schedules submitted, with letter of transmittal
dated June 16th, 1961, to the City Manager, copies of which are at-
tached hereto and form a part hereof; and
WHEREaseS, ~embers of this Council believe the policies which
shaped the studies and the resulting Ranges and Classifications
represent an improvement which should be incorporated in current
and future administrative operations,
NOW, THEREFORE, LET IT BE RESOLVED that -
1. The City Manager be a~d he is hereby directed to replace all
such portions of the existing 'Administrative Code' as may be
concerned with job classification or salary administration with the
proposals contained in the previously noted "Schedules I a~d II;
and
2. Business Counsel be requested to continue studies previously
undertaken along these lines in order to properly complete
all phases of this pro~ect; and
The City Manager be and he is hereby directed to review all
aspects of such classifications and ranges in the early months
of each odd numbered year and to present, for Council consideration~
any changes (which may appear desirable to keep the City's position
up to date) and before such time as work is to be instituted in the
formulation of the City Operating Budget for the ensuing year.
PASSED and ADOPTED on this 25th day of September, A.D. 1961.
