C. Ranges.
1. Ranges shall be determined by the division of personnel services with the use of market data compiled from comparable cities. A formula for calculating ranges based upon such market data shall be devised.
2. Ranges shall be adjusted periodically in order to reflect market conditions and considerations of bargaining unit awards. This shall be accomplished through a survey of the salaries of exempt employees in comparable cities and an evaluation of the impact of bargaining unit salary awards.
D. Hiring-In. A new employee may be placed in Steps 1 through 3, depending upon qualifications and/or market considerations. No hiring-in shall exceed Step 3 except where market considerations warrant such placement and the mayor approves the placement. [Ord. 2013-09-072 § 10; Ord. 9384 § 2, 1984].
