An incentive plan is established to provide a means for rewarding employees who assume projects or tasks beyond what is considered a normal part of their position. The plan shall further provide a means for rewarding exemplary professional development of direct value to the city. Such reward shall be granted through a one-time-only salary adjustment which shall not be perpetuated beyond the year in which it is granted. The adjustment shall be awarded only after completion of a special assignment or of exemplary professional development according to a predetermined performance standard and goal. The individual’s normal salary range and placement in the range shall not be affected. This incentive plan shall be established as follows:

A. The division of personnel services, under the supervision of the mayor, shall administer the plan.

B. Participation in the plan shall be conditioned upon allocation of a yearly budget for implementing of the plan.

C. Approval of the mayor shall be required prior to participation in the plan.

D. A clear definition of base level responsibilities, i.e., the performance for which the normal salary is awarded, shall be developed for each employee participating in the plan.

E. A clear statement of the goal(s) to be achieved shall be developed by each participating employee and their supervisor or, in the case of the department heads, with the mayor.

F. The mayor, on behalf of the city, and the employee shall execute a written agreement identifying the goal(s) to be achieved, and the consideration therefor, prior to the assumption of the special responsibilities or undertaking of the professional development effort.

G. At the conclusion of the performance period, the mayor shall determine if the objectives of the agreement have been achieved satisfactorily. If achieved, the mayor shall authorize the salary adjustment. [Ord. 9384 § 7, 1984].
