TO: His Worship the Mayor and Members of Council
FROM: A. Guiler
DATE: March 13, 1978
SUBJECT: SALARY RANGE REVIEW
As requested at the meeting last Wednesday, I have re -worked Schedule
B(1) and B(2) and set out a proposed range on the attached sheet together
with a proposed salary increase for 1978 for all non-union employees.
As stated in my report to Council on March 8, consideration should be given
to overtime worked by the Foremen in Public Works.
In Group I the maximum allowable by A.I.B. is 6% and it was divided as
follows:
1977
1978
1978
Salary
Increase
Proposed
Salary
Clerk 23,760
990
24,750
Treasurer 23,000
1,150
24,150
Director of Public Works 23,116
1,634
24,750
69,876
3,774
73,650
The maximum allowed by the A.I.B. for this group is 6% of 69,876 = $4,192.56
and approximately 10% of this figure is for increased cost of benefits leaving
$3,774. to be divided amongst the group.
In Group II all employees were given the maximum increase of 6% which is 6%
of $53,460 = $3,207.60 of which 10% goes to increase in benefits leaving
$2,887. to be divided among the group.
In Group III the maximum allowable is 6% of $47,345 = $2,840.70
The position. of Deputy Clerk/Committee Secretary and Deputy to the Director
of Public Works was established after January 1st, 1978 and cannot be used
for A.I.B. calculations.

The amount of $2,840. was divided as follows:
1977 1978 1978
Salary Proposed Proposed
Increase Salary
Deputy Treasurer & Tax Collector 17,820 180 18,000
Deputy Director of Community Services
11,705 1,395 13,100
Works Super 17,820 960 18,780
47,345 2,535 49,880
The balance of $305. will be charged against this group for increased benefit
costs.
You will also note that I have not suggested the maximum increase for the
Deputy Treasurer as I feel that his work load will be reduced with the intro-
duction of the computer system.
In Group IV the maximum allowable is 6% of $140,432. = $8,426 of which
90% or $7,583. is available for salary increases. The position of By -Law
Enforcement Officer was established after January 1st, 1978 and cannot be
used for A.I.B. calculations.
The amount of $7,583. was divided as follows:
1977-

O
You will note in this group that we are over the A.I.B. guidelines in
the amount of .1165, this is due to additional adjustments for three
persons, Arena Manager 2, Parks and Cemetery Foreman and Firefighter 2
to bring them in line with the Union Contracts.
In Group V each employee was given a $600. increase which does not require
A.I.B. calculation for this group.
I feel that this proposal is an equitable method of adjusting salaries
for 1978 and these adjustments would need to be carried on for one
additional year to bring all employees into the salary classification ranges
which are proposed.
