HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE – 6/15/2026 Mtg Page 2 of 3
The Lead Coordinated Response Specialist role was sent to Cottingham & Butler for a
wage review. It was determined that it should remain in the same Grade (I) of the non-
union pay plan. Instead, they recommended a 2-step increase, so Jen will move from step
5 ($38.94/hour) to step 7 ($40.89/hour).
3.6 Approve request to adjust the wage placement of all Police Sergeants currently
assigned to Grade K of the non-union pay plan. (held from the May HRC meeting)
MOTION by Graskey, seconded by Moffat, to hold in committee until July.
Motion carried.
Chief Winterscheidt stated that they are asking for a wage step adjustment to ensure
that the lowest paid Sergeant is still making more than the people they supervise.
Members of the committee discussed the possible ripple effect that this could cause for
the chain of command (lieutenants and captains). Chief Winterscheidt explained that the
lieutenant position is being eliminated, and that in the future, the police department will
be seeking grade placement realignment for Captains as well. Councilors agreed that
there is an issue but would like to review it more in depth to see if they can come up
with a long-term plan.
