The salary range for the Heavy Equipment Operator position is 337- $3,838.00- $4,897.00 and the current salary range for the Senior Tree Trimmer position is 336 - $3,745.00-$4,780.00. At present time, the Senior Tree Trimmer's salary range is 2.5% below the salary range of the Heavy Equipment Operator.

This salary range adjustment would place the Senior Tree Trimmer's salary at the 7.5% higher salary range of their highest paid subordinate classification, in accordance with the AFSCME MOU. The city only has one Senior Tree Trimmer, so this salary range change only affects one employee. V. FISCAL IMPACT The annual cost for this salary modification is $5,952.00.
