Presentation of the 2013 City Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide you with information on the new Pay-for-
Performance Compensation Plan that will become effective on May 25 , 2013 for full-time/part-
time benefited employees. Nicki Aggers and Candy Siderius of Mountain States Employers
Council , Inc. (MSEC) will provide a presentation to Council at the May 20 , 2013 Study Session
on the compensation project. Copies of the presentation will be available at this session.
WhoisMSEC?
Mountain States Employers Council (MSEC) is a non-profit membership organization founded
in 1939. MSEC 's total compensation consultants work with members in order to align the
organization 's vision and business strategy with their reward systems. Nicki and Candy are
Certified Compensation Professionals (CCP) meaning they are experts in the field of public and
private sector compensation. MSEC was selected following a competitive bid process for this
project.
Project Benefits
I am very excited about the progressive direction in which the City is moving with the
development of this new compensation plan. There are many significant benefits that this new
plan will provide in support of our organizational culture and the overall strategic vision of our
community. These benefits include:
• Adoption of progressive compensation best practices
• A Total Compensation Plan approach -focus on benefits other than just pay including
health benefits , wellness program and professional growth and development opportunities
• Pay-for-Performance System -employees rewarded based on performance not on years
of service
• Reward high performing employees -no guaranteed pay increases . The plan will
recognize and reward employees based on their level of performance
• Development of an internal quality control process to ensure consistency of performance
ratings across the organization
• Market-dri ven -compare average pay rates from literally thousands of employers in the
public and private market
• Financially Sustainable plan -replace mid-year market analysis with biennial market
analysis
• Flexible in responding to changes in the economy

Background
"Employee Compensation" was identified as a High Priority on the City Council's Action
Agenda in the 2011 /2012 Council Strategic Plan. Identified goals for this project included long-
term fiscal sustainability and competitiveness to retain and attract the best employees. This task
was assigned to Heather Geyer, Administrative Services Director and the Executive Management
Team (EMT) served as the core project team that was instrumental in the development of the
new compensation philosophy and overall creation of the plan. The project was kicked-off in
June 2012 and will be completed by June 7, 2013 . I am very proud of the time that the EMT has
invested in this project. Developing a financially sustainable compensation system is a priority
of mine and the benefits in completing this project at this point in time will assist the City in
continuing to move forward. It is important to note that typically a project of this magnitude can
easily take 2 to 3 years to complete. Our project team understood the importance of finalizing
this project in such a short timeframe given the interim pay approaches since 2009. The
completion of this project is a significant accomplishment for our organization .
As a reminder, the following interim pay approaches were implemented in response to the Great
Recession:
• 2009 -merit increases , no mid-year market adjustments
• 2010 -no merit or mid-year market adjustments provided
• 2011 -full-time and part-time benefited employees receive a one-time payment, $720
and $360, respectively
• 2012 -full-time and part-time benefited employees received a 3 percent increase (for
civilian employees) and step increases were awarded to sworn officers
As we have entered a period of economic recovery, also referred to as the "new nonnal" in local
government, we will continue our focus on a total compensation system and pay-for-
performance plan that will reward employee achievements that further the City's mission.
I do want to emphasize that the purpose of the new plan is not intended to catch up or make up
for the time employee compensation was not funded. However, this new compensation plan is a
realignment to the current labor market using progressive compensation best practices.
Overview of new Pay-for-Performance Plan
The new Pay-for-Performance Plan consists of two sub-plans: 1) an Open Range Plan for all
non-sworn staff and the sworn officer ranks of sergeants and above, 2) a Step Plan for all sworn
police officers. Collectively, these two sub-plans make up the City's new Pay-for-Performance
Compensation Plan. The criteria by which all employees will be rated will be consistent across
the organization. The new compensation plan is included as Attachment 2.
Our existing compensation plan met its ten-year shelf life and was not in complete alignment
with our organizational culture of rewarding employees for performance. Fortunately, the
existing pay plan was competitive; therefore, not requiring significant changes to employee
compensation as a result of the new methodology.

Plan Methodology
The Pay-for-Performance Plan methodology, as compared to our existing step compensation
plan, is data-driven, statistically based and is overall a defensible methodology. The plan
methodology included:
• Strategic evaluation and development of a compensation philosophy
• Review and update of all job descriptions
• Benchmarking of jobs to MSEC survey data
• Collection of salary survey data
• Design of salary grades/salary ranges
• Cost analysis
• Review of administrative guidelines and pay practices
MSEC will provide greater detail on the plan methodology described above in their presentation.
Launch of the New Performance Management Program (PMP)
In addition to the creation of the compensation plan , the EMT launched the new performance
appraisal system in early 2013. This project was the culmination of a 3-year program developed
in-house by an employee committee representing each department. This new program, referred
to as PMP , aligns the City's new core values (ACTION -Accountability, Change, Teamwork,
Integrity, Opportunity, Now) with the appraisal system. The old performance appraisal system,
while not broken, was not in complete alignment with the new core values created by EMT in
2009. The City will be launching an electronic appraisal system in mid-summer and all team
member/team leader evaluations will be due in the fall beginning in November. Use of an
electronic appraisal system will help streamline the annual review process. Additionally, the
City will be making the transition to a common evaluation date in November/December for all
team members, team leaders and directors. Employees may receive an increase in 2014 for their
performance in 2013 based on how well the employee performed in meeting the core values and
competencies of the new PMP system. These performance increases will be effective January 1,
2014. Funding for the 2014 Pay-for-Performance Plan will be presented to City Council during
the annual budget process for approval.
As part of the launch of this program, the City is making a shift in how we refer to employees.
All non-supervisory staff are now referred to as team members and all supervisory/managerial
staff are referred to as team leaders.
Implementation
Overall , even though the existing pay plan was outdated our current practices were competitive
and in line with the market making the plan implementation more affordable. City Council
approved $450,000 in the 2013 budget for implementation costs . As part of the implementation
of the new plan, eligible benefited full-time employees will receive a one-time direct payment of
$1 ,000. Eligible benefited part-time employees will receive a one-time direct payment of$500.
Employees currently on a performance improvement plan are not eligible to receive this one-
time direct payment. The total cost for one-time direct payments is $209 ,000.
In addition to the one-time direct payment for benefited employees , implementation of the plan
includes placement costs which consist of one or both of the following I) move to minimum of
Presentation of N ew Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan

the salary grade and 2) equity adjustment (if applicable). An equity adjustment is a one-time
direct pay adjustment to the base salary that may be granted based on a review of the employee 's
pay history, performance, qualifications , and current rate relative to others in the range. Overall
placement costs for the new compensation plan total $158 ,969 with an overall implementation
cost with the one-time direct payments of$367 ,696 .
Future Cost Projections
The design of the plan allows for flexibility in responding to changes in the economy and the
organization. Staff will develop a projected cost for the plan for inclusion in the 2014 City
budget. Future compensation plan costs will be dictated by the City's financial status as well as
other considerations such as what pay practices are in place by neighboring municipalities .
In summary, I believe this plan represents the progressiveness of the City in aligning pay with
performance. The plan is financially sustainable and will aid the City in retaining and attracting
talented employees needed to help us continue to move the strategic vision of this community
forward. The plan is credible, consistent, and overall the compensation plan the City needs .

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
May 13, 2013
The purpose of these frequently asked questions (FAQs) is to provide you with information
on the new 2013 Compensation Plan recently completed by the Executive Management
Team and how it will be administered in the future. If you have additional questions, please
speak with your supervisor or Human Resources.
Important note: The 2013 Compensation Plan only applies to full-time benefited and
part-time benefited employees. Intermittent and seasonal employees are not
included in this compensation plan.
1. Why did the City of Wheat Ridge develop a new Compensation Plan?
The 'new normal ' is one phrase that is often used to describe the new era we are living
in as a result of the economic realities of the recession . Like many public sector
organizations, the City went through an almost five-year period of time when our
approach to compensating employees was on an interim basis due to our current plan
not being financially affordable. This period of time presented the opportunity for the
City to reexamine our methodology and approach to pay. The City strives to remain
competitive, offering a total compensation plan that includes competitive benefits,
recognition, and development opportunities in addition to base pay. In the long term,
the City's current compensation plan is not financially sustainable. During the economic
downturn, the City took interim approaches to pay which helped the City decrease
spending and avoid layoffs, including the following:
• 2009 -merit increases, no mid-year market adjustments funded.
• 2010-no merit or mid-year market adjustments funded.
• 2011 -full-time and part-time benefited employees received a one-time direct
payment.
• 2012 -full-time and part-time benefited employees received a 3 percent
increase (for civilian employees) and step increases were awarded to sworn
officers .
The purpose of the new compensation plan is to be financially sustainable, market-
based and to reward employee achievements that further the City's mission. It is NOT
intended as a catch-up or make up for the time that the plan was not funded.
The new Pay-for-Performance Compensation Plan consists of two sub plans : 1) an
Open Range Plan (which includes non-exempt/exempt and police sergeants) and 2) a
Step Plan for Sworn Police Officers with two levels Police Officer I and II.

2. Why did the City hire Mountain States Employers Council (MSEC) to develop
the compensation plan?
Compensation design and practice is a very specific skill set within the human
resources field . The City does not possess expertise in compensation and it made
sense from both a time and efficiency point of view to outsource the proj ect.
Additionally , in order to keep current with best practices/industry trends , it was
appropriate to use MSEC to assist the City in aligning its compensation/pay practices
with the current market and culture of the organization .
3. What is the City's new Compensation Philosophy?
As part of the new compensation plan, the Executive Management Team (EMT)
reexamined the mission and values of the organization and how the total compensation
system should align with the City's short-and long-term objectives. The following
compensation philosophy was developed for the plan :
The City of Wheat Ridge recognizes that, as a service organization, employees
are critical to the success of our mission and goals. In a highly competitive and
ever-changing environment, we strive to attract and retain individuals who
respond quickly, think creatively, and achieve meaningful results.
We must attract and retain a highly skilled workforce that is efficient, productive,
and innovative . We base rewards on behaviors, contributions, and
performance that demonstrate a commitment to public service and to the City 's
core values . We reward employees who take personal responsibility to develop
their skills, provide excellent customer service and develop positive
relationships within the community. We expect employees to continually strive
to learn as well as apply problem-solving and customer service skills to further
our mission .
Our total compensation package consists of base pay, comprehensive benefits,
recognition and wei/ness programs as well as development opportunities based
on financial conditions and strategic objectives, as compared to other
governmental and private employers in our community.
4. Why is the City moving to a pay-for-performance model for compensating
employees?
A pay-for-performance model is consistent with the culture and commitment to
A.C .T .I.O .N!, the City's core values . It is important for the City to reward employees
who exemplify these core values and who help achieve the City 's strategic results .
Design of a compensation plan that determines the worth of jobs is one component. In
addition, the City launched the new Performance Management Project (PMP) in
January 2013 which bases employee pay increases on employee performance
according to outlined goals and objectives .
5. When will this new plan go into effect?
The City's new Compensation Plan will be effective on May 25 th and any adjustments to
pay will be reflected in the June 7th paycheck. Each full-time/part-time benefited
employee w ill receive a Confidential Compensation Project Employee Report from
Human Resources explaining any changes related to his/her position .

6. When will I be eligible for my next performance increase?
January 1, 2014. Following the new performance evaluation due dates scheduled in
the fall of 2013, employees may receive an increase based on how they met the core
values and competencies of the new PMP system. Employees will learn more about
the new PMP rating system in the summer when they attend training on how to use the
electronic performance appraisal system.
7. How much can we expect for a performance increase in the future?
The merit budget is determined and approved by City Council on an annual basis
according to what other comparable organizations are providing and what the City can
afford for that fiscal year. Unforeseen factors that could impact the local, state or
national economy cannot always be predicted. Performance increases are awarded
based on an employee's performance review . They are not guaranteed .
8. Will employees receive a cost-of-living increase?
The City does not grant cost-of-living increases. We allocate pay increases based on
the employee's performance and achievement of organizational core values and
performance competencies. Cost-of-living increases are no longer a best practice and
very few local government entities use this method. Overall, cost-of-living increases do
not reward performance and do not support the culture of the City.
9. Willi receive a one-time direct payment in the amount of $1 ,000?
All full-time benefited employees will receive a one-time direct payment in the amount of
$1,000. This payment will not be added to base pay . Part-time benefited employees
will receive a one-time direct payment in the amount of $500 not added to base pay.
Employees who are on a performance improvement plan or began their employment
with the City after May 1, 2013 are not eligible for the one-time direct payment.
10. Willi be in a step system or a pay-for-performance system?
Both plans are based on a pay-for-performance system. The Pay-for-Performance plan
(which includes civilian, police sergeants and higher ranks) is based on percentage
increases . The Police Step plan consists of step increases for Police Officer I and II.
The rating criteria upon which merit increases are given will be consistent across the
organization.
11. Does the new compensation system compare people or jobs?
The City's new compensation system considers job content and qualifications only.
Demonstrated achievement of performance goals and objectives, core values and
competencies result in determining what pay increase employees are eligible for on an
annual basis . Increases are contingent upon available funding.
12. How was my job matched to the survey data?
To identify the most relevant match between the City's position and the survey job
description, MSEC considered factors such as the degree of knowledge/skills , job family
progression , span of control, reporting relationships, scope of decision-making
authority, types of decisions made , impact on the organization of such decisions, and
autonomy. While exact comparisons may not always occur, we took care to assure that
M Prepared by Mountain States Employers Council , Inc.
MSEC

a significant degree of comparability existed before using the survey data. MSEC
strives for a 70 to 80 percent match between the incumbent's job responsibilities and
the duties listed in the surveys. MSEC also solicited input and feedback from the EMT
regarding the quality of the survey job match.
13. Which surveys were used?
After MSEC obtained a final job match, salary information was collected . Efforts were
made to use data with 30 incumbent pay rates or more whenever possible in order to
have a more statistically accurate average.
The following reports and data lines were used to gather salary survey market data :
o MSEC 2012 Colorado Compensation Survey (Denver/Boulder)
383 jobs; 489 participants; 45,921 reported employee pay rates
o MSEC 2012 Public Employers Compensation (Denver/Boulder)
362 jobs; 124 participants ; 35,300 reported employee pay rates
o MSEC 2012 Non-Profit Compensation (Total Responses)
93 jobs; 95 participants; 4,519 reported employee pay rates
o MSEC 2012 Information Technology Survey (Denver/Boulder)
83 jobs; 371 participants ; 6,432 reported employee pay rates
o MSEC 2013 Country Club Compensation Survey (Total Responses)
61 obs; 15 participants; 2,240 reported employee pay rates
14. How was my job placed in the new salary grade?
First, City job descriptions were reviewed by Department Directors, Managers and
supervisors, for accuracy and then matched to a salary survey position . Next, we met
with Department Directors to further review and receive approval regarding the match .
The placement of jobs (not people or title) in the hierarchy of lower to higher salary
grades was initially driven by the salary survey market data.
The survey data gives us an estimate of what other employers pay for a job, not
necessarily what the City should pay. The salary survey information provides an initial
indicator to establish a value placed on a job.
We then made internal equity adjustments as appropriate to salary grades according to
the alignment of jobs within the City. When making the internal equity adjustments we
took into account the degree of knowledge/skills, span of control, reporting
relationships, scope of decision making authority, types of decisions made, impact on
the organization of such decisions, and autonomy.
15. How were the salary grades and range structures developed?
Positions are typically clustered together into salary grades according to like skills,
responsibilities, and qualifications as well as relative market rates . After grouping the
City's nonexempt and exempt positions into salary grades , MSEC developed a salary
Prepared by Mountain States Employers Council, Inc. 4
range structure for each group . MSEC also prepared a step plan pay structure for
sworn Police Officers I and II.
16. Was education or credentials taken into consideration when my job was
placed in the salary grade?
Initially the placement of jobs (not people) in the hierarchy of lower to higher salary
grades was driven by the salary survey market data. When matching the job, MSEC
looked at the qualifications necessary to function in the position. If specific education or
credentials are needed in order to be qualified, they were taken into consideration as
reflected by the market value.
However, if you possess skills, licensure, certification, or other qualifications not directly
required in order to perform the job tasks, those would not be considered. We only look
at the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for meeting the job responsibilities.
17. Will I receive increased compensation for participating in certification
programs or receiving a degree/advanced degree?
The City supports continuous learning and professional development. In some
instances, ongoing training is required to meet the essential functions of the position .
The City does not provide additional compensation for employees receiving
certifications, or degrees/advanced degrees. Participation in trainings that the City
funds is intended to benefit both the employee and the organization. Application of
acquired skills and knowledge as a result of attendance at a City funded
training/certification will be considered in the employee's overall performance .
18. How did length of service factor into my salary grade assignment?
The compensation system design is based on job function and content, not an
individual incumbent's tenure . Length of service is rewarded through our
comprehensive benefits, retirement programs, and paid time off, as well as
opportunities for growth and job satisfaction.
19. We are already into May of 2013; did the City take this into account when
reviewing the salary survey data?
Since the effective dates of the salary survey data varied by survey, MSEC aged the
information and brought it forward to a common date of July 1, 2013 . An adjustment
factor was used that represents the annual percent of salary movement for state and
local government workers. The U.S . Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
compiles and publishes the Employment Cost Index (ECI) every quarter. The ECI
reflects the percentage change in employer costs for employee compensation. As of
December 31, 2012 , the current ECI rate is 1.1 percent. MSEC prorated this factor
based on the period from each survey's information collection date to July 1, 2013.
20. How can I move to the next salary grade?
Your salary grade/range changes when and if you are eligible to receive a promotion or
your position is reclassified . Promotional opportunities vary and these types of
opportunities are not a guarantee as they do not always exist given the size and
structure of the organization. (See #22 regarding reclassifications)
W Prepared by Mountain States Employers Council, Inc .
MSEC

21. How often will the salary range structure be updated?
The City anticipates conducting a biennial market analysis update to see how our pay
practices relate to our employer comparison group . When this review is completed, we
will strive to make adjustments in the structure as needed to keep us competitive. Our
current economic situation also must be factored into decisions related to the
compensation system. Any appropriate adjustments to salary grades will be considered
in the next fiscal year budget and will not be considered mid-year as done in the past
with the City's former practice known as mid-year market adjustments.
22. What steps can I or my supervisor take to have my job reclassified?
Jobs may be reviewed if the responsibilities, skills, and other major changes in function
occur. Discuss the changes first with your supervisor and together draft a new job
description . Submit both the old and new descriptions to Human Resources for
evaluation. You and your supervisor will be asked questions about how the changes
have impacted the scope and nature of the job functions. Whether or not a
reclassification is warranted will be decided by Human Resources, your Director and the
City Manager. Remember, job descriptions are not meant to be a detailed list of every
single thing that you do in your job. Job descriptions are written to reflect the general
roles and responsibilities of the position. A given position may only be reclassified once
a year or at the discretion of the Department Director/City Manager.
23. What happens to employees whose pay is at or above the maximum of the
range?
In the case where an employee's pay is at or above the maximum of the new salary
grade, the employee will not be eligible for an increase to base pay. The City does not
take pay away from an employee unless the situation involves a demotion.
24. What happens if an employee's salary is below the minimum of the range?
Employees whose pay is below the minimum of the salary range will receive a pay
adjustment up to the minimum when the plan is implemented. Moving forward, the
same will apply for employees whose pay is below the minimum of the salary range and
identified as such during the biennial market analysis conducted by Human Resources
and MSEC.
25. My salary range used to move mid-year after the City conducted a mid-year
market analysis?
As of part of the new compensation plan, the City will no longer be conducting a mid-
year market analysis and taking recommendations to City Council to fund adjustments
mid-year. (See question #21)
26. Why can't the City pay me more?
All pay grades are competitive with the market and pay is one aspect of a total
compensation philosophy. The purpose of the City's total compensation philosophy is
to recognize our highly-skilled and engaged workforce. We must attract and retain
competent, professional and results-oriented staff in order to achieve our mission in
providing services to the community. Pay must be balanced with all of the other
financial demands necessary to sustain the services and growth of our organization.
W Prepared by Mountain States Employers Council, Inc.

27. What is an equity adjustment?
An equity adjustment is a one-time direct pay adjustment to the base salary that may be
granted based on a review of the employee's pay history, performance, qualifications,
and current rate relative to others in the range. All equity adjustments must be
reviewed and approved by the Department Director, Human Resources, Administrative
Services Director, and City Manager.
28. I know the City budgeted $450,000 in 2013 for implementation of the new
compensation plan. How were the funds allocated?
The purpose of budgeting $450,000 in the 2013 budget was two-fold : 1) to implement
the new Compensation plan and associated placement costs and 2) to recognize all
employees with a one-time direct payment.
29. If I am in the Open Range Plan (non-exempt/exempt, police sergeants, and
higher ranks) what happens to my Pay for Performance increase if my salary
is near the range maximum?
If the employee has not reached the maximum of their salary range and is eligible for a
performance increase, the base pay increase will not exceed the maximum of the pay
range. If the earned rating would take the employee above the maximum, the
employee will receive the remaining increase in a one-time direct payment not added to
base pay.

Traffic Calming/Monument Signage Program
At the May 13 , 2013 City Council study session , Staff presented options to the Mayor
and City Council for a City Gateway Monument Sign Program. After some
discussion , the consensus was to bring back a smaller scale program that identifies
neighborhood "cut-through" streets for the installation of traffic calming devices that
could possibly incorporate neighborhood monument signage.
Because of the short notice, backup materials will not be provided with this Council
packet. Staff will bring information to the May 20 th study session concerning the
policy and process the City used in the past to locate and build traffic calming devices
throughout the City.
The purpose of this discussion is to receive general policy and process direction from
the Mayor and City Council concerning a future traffic calming/monument signage
program.
