HIS BUDGET, HE SHOULD DO IT ON THE BASIS OF THE RECOMMENDED SALARY <br />RANGES, TAKING INTO CONSIDERATION THE DIFFERENT PERCENTAGES FOR LENGTH <br />OF TIME ON THE JOB, AND HE PROBABLY SHOULDNIT BE LOOKING AT MORE THAN A <br />5% MERIT INCREASE FOR ANY ONE INDIVIDUAL AND SOME SHOULD PROBABLY FALL <br />BELOW THAT. COMMISSIONER $IEBERT CONCLUDED THAT WHAT WE ARE TALKING <br />ABOUT IS $40,000 ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO BRING EVERYONE UP TO RECOMMENDED <br />MINIMUMS, PLUS THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ADDITIONAL 5%. <br />MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THIS IS WHERE THE FLEXIBILITY COMES <br />IN, WITHOUT THE STEP INCREASES. YOU HAVE ONLY SO MANY DOLLARS TO DEAL <br />WITH, AND IF YOU WISH TO ACCENTUATE THE COST OF LIVING, FOR INSTANCE, <br />YOU CAN TAKE A HYPOTHETICAL 7o AND ALLOCATE 3% FOR COST OF LIVING AND <br />4% FOR MERIT OR VICE VERSA. THAT'S WHERE THE LUXURY OF HAVING AN OPEN <br />RANGE COMES IN. <br />COMMISSIONER $IEBERT INQUIRED WHETHER A POSSIBLE GRANT TO PAY <br />FOR THIS STUDY HAS BEEN APPLIED FOR, AND MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT IT <br />HAS. <br />COMMISSIONER $IEBERT THEN ASKED ABOUT THE PROCEDURE TO APPROVE <br />PROMOTIONS OR MERIT INCREASES. <br />MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT HE WOULD FEEL THE COUNTY ADMINIS- <br />TRATOR WOULD GIVE APPROVAL BASED ON RECOMMENDATIONS OF A DEPARTMENT HEAD, <br />AND THEN THE .ADMINISTRATOR WOULD RECOMMEND THE TOTAL PACKAGE TO THE <br />BOARD. IN REGARD TO RECLASSIFICATION, HE NOTED THAT CAN USUALLY BE <br />• TAKEN CARE OF THROUGH ATTRITION. <br />COMMISSIONER $IEBERT NOTED THAT IN THE CASE OF A CONSTITUTIONAL <br />OFFICER, THEY WOULD BE LIMITED BY THEIR BUDGET RESTRICTIONS. HE ASKED <br />ABOUT SALARIED PEOPLE. <br />MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THEY, T00, WOULD BE PAID WHAT THEY <br />.ARE MAKING NOW AND SLOTTED INTO THE PLAN. <br />COMMISSIONER $IEBERT REMARKED THAT THE REPORT SHOWS THAT MOST <br />OF THE SALARIED PEOPLE ARE BEING UNDERPAID, AND NO ONE WAS OVERPAID. <br />HE ASKED IF THEY ARE BEING UNDERPAID ON THE BASIS OF A 40 HOUR WEEK. <br />MR. PELLEGRINO STATED THAT THEY ARE BEING UNDERPAID BASED ON <br />A 37-1/2 HOUR WEEK, AND THE PROPOSED PAY RANGE IS BASED ON A 37-1/2 <br />HOUR WEEK. <br />47 <br />BOOK 39 PAGE 401 <br />APR 4 1979 <br />
