Present:
Mayor Kevin O'Connor

Absent: Robert J. Lodge
Also Present: L. R. Forney, Jr., Village Manager
Donald G. Long, Long Associates
In a report to Council Mr. Forney reviewed the Pay & Classification
Plan as prepared by Long Associates, which basically reduces the
number of pay systems down to two: the PBA employees and all others
It also changes the 5% merit step increases to a more flexible
increase between zero and 5%. The report also answered several
questions on the operation of the plan which were raised by Mr.
Spahn. Mr. Forney concluded with a request for (a) concurrence of
the Plan and (b) approval of the special pay increases he had
requested independent of the Plan.
Some of the areas of concern as voiced by members of Council:
- Using pay ranges a department head would be allowed to hire
above the minimum range for whatever reason; the department
head should be given parameters based on need.
- Special merit increases should come to Council.
- A form of longevity could be provided with a % increase for
10 years and over.
- Discussed payouts of sick time on termination/retirement;
maximum of 720 hours permitted by contract stipulation.
Indicate which positions receipt additional pay, i.e. as
of food and beverage sales; should be indicated on pay plan
and budget.
- Indicate split of tip money, i.e. one percent to chef, one
percent to head bartender and two percent to banquet manager.
- Membership Director salary should indicate bonus commission plan.
- Waiters and waitresses should be listed with a pay range, as
well as tennis and golf pro.
- Tennis and golf pro should list other compensation, i.e. pro
shop, lessons, etc.
