PELLEGRINO CONTINUED THAT THEY HAVE COSTED OUT THEIR <br />RECOMMENDED PLAN, AND FOR A SIX MONTH PERIOD IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY <br />$20,000 TO GET INTO THE PLAN. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT ASKED IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO USE A STEP <br />PROCEDURE, WHERE IS THE STARTING PO OT TO REVIEW A PERSON S SALARY? <br />MR. PELLEGRINO FELT IT SHOULD COINCIDE WITH THE FISCAL YEAR, <br />BUT HE NOTED THAT, AT THAT TIME, THE BOARD MIGHT WISH TO ALLOCATE FUNDS <br />IN ACCORDANCE WITH ANNIVERSARY DATES OF INDIVIDUALS. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT COMMENTED IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE STEP INCREASES, <br />HE FELT IT WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE ALL AT ONCE.

PELLEGRINO FELT THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT THE MINIMUMS <br />.`� AND THE MAXIMUMS, BUT NOT THIS OCTOBER. HE STATED THAT -THEIR EXPERIENCE <br />IS THAT YOU -HAVE TO ADJUST YOUR RANGES ABOUT EVERY TWO TO TWO AND A HALF <br />YEARS, AND THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE VALID FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. <br />COMMISSIONER SIEBERT NOTED THAT THE BOARD WOULD HAVE TO CON- <br />SIDER THIS AT THIS TIME OF YEAR TO BE READY FOR BUDGET SESSIONS.
