Member of Common Council

SUBJECT: Salary Amendment
COPY TOT File
1 am requesting that the Members of Common Council approve a salary
amendment for the position of Mechanic. The position currently pays
$8.62/hour or $17,929.60/year. I am asking for an increase in the
position of $2,070.40, bringing the annual salary to $20,000.00.
The transit mechanic we presently have will be transferring to the
Street Department June 1, 1988. At this time we feel it is necessary
to seek and hire a Certified Mechanic. In checking the "going -rate"
for Certified Mechanics, I have found that the salary range goes from
$16,640/yr. for young,_ inexperienced mechanics to $22,880/yr. for
experienced, Master Certification Mechanics.
To hold a master certification you must be certified in eight different
areas of mechanics. A certified mechanic must re -certify every five
(5) years. The mechanic we hire would also be required to have his
own tools.
Due to the fact that the Street Department does not have a mechanic
at this time, the Transit mechanic will work on both Street and Bus
line vehicles.
Over the past four years, both the Street and Transit Department have
acquired new fleets of equipment, spending hundreds of thousands of
dollars. The equipment is much more sophisticated and requires a great
deal of mechanical knowledge when it comes to repairs.
In 1988, Rose View has already spent $5,700 on contractual services
and the Street Department has spent in excess of $8,100.00.
Approximately 75% of our repairs are currently being contracted out
due to the fact that we do not have a knowledgeable, certified mechanic
in our employ.
I have attached a sheet with the wage rates of other mechanics
employed by the City I think you will find that this salary
is in line.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Thank you.
