WHEREAS, the City utilizes a system of approved Salary Ranges, some of which are
not currently operative or being utilized for positions in the Police Department, but are
available for certain circumstances, such as calculating specialty pay; and
WHEREAS, the City has recently conducted a recruitment for the position of Police
Officer and based upon that recruitment offered the position at a specific salary to Philip
Dollman, who accepted the position based upon that offer; and
WHEREAS, it was subsequently discovered that the salary offered to Officer Dollman
was not in Salary Range 31 which is the operative Salary Range for the position of
Police Officer, but instead was in Salary Range 34 which is a Salary Range that is not
currently operative or being utilized; and
WHEREAS, Officer Dollman accepted the position at the offered salary and left his prior
employment based upon the offer, and the City desires to honor the commitment made
to Officer Dollman; and
WHEREAS, since the inadvertent placement of Officer Dollman in an inoperative Salary
Range presents an unusual circumstance, and also could potentially create issues
related to the operation of other City personnel policies related to step increases as well
as potential future promotional situations, it is appropriate for the City Council to
approve the use of salary range 34, as well as clarify how movement through the salary
ranges will apply in light of the error;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Arroyo
Grande as follow:
1. The foregoing recitals are approved and incorporated herein by reference.
2. The appointment of Officer Dollman at Step D of Salary Range 34 is
hereby approved and ratified. It is further provided that Officer Dollman
shall be eligible for a Step increase to Step E after one year and
successful completion of his probationary period, as well as any applicable
future cost -of- living increases. For the sole purpose of this appointment,
such Step increase will be deemed placement at the top Step for the
position of Police Officer. In addition, if in the future Officer Dollman
competes for and is successful in a promotional examination for the
position of Senior Officer and as a result such promotion would otherwise
"XESOLLITION NO.
be out of compliance with the policy that promotions are to result in at
least a 5% increase in salary, the City Council hereby authorizes variance
of that policy based upon the foregoing circumstances related to his hiring
and compensation.
3. The terms and conditions set forth above shall be subject to modification
resulting from a new Memorandum of Understanding currently being
negotiated between the City and the Arroyo Grande Police Officers
Association.
4. This Resolution shall be deemed effective upon its adoption.
On motion of Council Member Guthrie, seconded by Council Member Ray, and by the
following roll call vote, to wit:
AYES: Council Members Guthrie, Ray, Brown, and Mayor Ferrara
NOES: None
ABSENT: Council Member Costello
the foregoing Resolution was passed and adopted this 26th day of February 2013.
