Re: 2010 Seasonal Wage Rates
Date: January 25, 2010
Council Action Requested
Approve an updated structure for seasonal wages for 2010.
Background Information
Annually, the City Council is asked to approve seasonal wage rates. In 2009, the seasonal wage
rates were not adjusted, with the exception of any mandated adjustments in compliance with
federal and state minimum wage laws. In 2010, the seasonal wages were also not adjusted,
consistent with no general wage adjustment for any city positions. Over the last several months,
staff has been working to streamline the seasonal wage schedule and make it consistent with the
non-union compensation schedule format, recognizing no adjustments to the seasonal
compensation schedule other than mandated minimum wage adjustments.
Additionally, any seasonal employees returning to work in 2010 will be at the same rate they
were at in 2009 (assuming they are filling the same position). Any new hires or returning
employees in a new position will be placed within the updated seasonal wage structure.
The updated schedule has been reviewed by staff involved in the seasonal hiring process.

determining an employee's eligibility for a step increase: a) return to employment, in the same or like position, after successful completion of the previous season; b) length of time
in
the seasonal position. Increases are not automatic, and the City reserves the right to determine appropriate advancement on the schedule.
