PERSONNEL--Chairman Lawson opened the Executive Session stating
that the purpose of this evenings meeting was to conclude the
discussion on the proposed merit pay program. Two options for
creating the incentive dollar "pool" were discussed

individual employee cap AND
� -creating a 2 . Oo pool of total department salaries with a 4a

Department Head salaries would be excluded from the department
totals .

Discussion then focused on the payment method; should the
incentive pay be made in one lump payment or should it be spread
throughout the year on each pay period. It was the committee' s
consensus to allow the employees to make their own determination
on how they' d like to receive their payment, but to limit the
choice to these options . It was also noted that the incentive
pay was to be considered a "bonus" not to become a permanent
portion of the employee' s base salary.
Incentive pay will also be made in a dollar amount not a
percentage of the employee' s salary although the maximum amount
allowable is limited to 4% of the employee' s salary.
Final action was taken in open sesssion.
Some discl�ssion then occurred regarding a complaint received
regarding a police officer. Alderman Bates was provided an
explanatic�n and directed to Lt . Donahue for further information.
Motion by Bates, seconded by Baird, to go back into Open Session
at 8 : 07 P .M.
