subsection 13.6 thereof and enacting a new subsection carrying the

13.6 ADVANCE WITHIN A PAY RANGE
a. Advancement on Completion of Probation
Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period after
initial appointment or promotion, and written
recommendation by the appointing authority, the pay
rate of the employee shall be advanced to the next
higher step in the pay range for the class to which his
position is allocated, effective at the beginning of
the first full bi-weekly pay period following the end
of the probationary period.
b. Subsequent Periodic Advancement
Subsequent periodic advancement shall be based on favorable
written recommendations by the appointing authority,
using the standard employee evaluation procedure
instituted by the Director of Personnel and approved by
the Civil Service Commission. Each employee shall be
advanced one increment within the base pay range on the
anniversary date of his probationary pay increase,
effective at the beginning of the next following pay
period, providing his employee evaluation rating for
the preceding twelve months has been "Meets
Requirements" or better, until the maximum base rate is
reached if paid on Schedule B, or until t]e third base
rate is reached if paid on Schedule A.
For employees paid on Schedule A, increases to the
steps in the base rate above the third step will be
granted on written recommendation only if the employee
evaluation report for the previous twelve months has
been higher than "Meets Requirements."
c. Advancement for Outstanding Performance
In recognition of an employee's outstanding performance and
unusual progress in carrying out his duties, the
appointing authority may recommend and the Executive
Director may approve one or two additional increments

Such increases shall not affect the employee's
anniversary date for ordinary annual increases.
d. Recognition of Long and Faithful Service
The salary schedules make provision for longevity rates to be
used for financial recognition of long and faithful
service where opportunities for promotion are limited
and where there is no provision for further advancement
in pay range. An employee will become eligible for
longevity rates, as set out in subsection (1) or (2)
below, provided he has received the maximum rate of pay
for a period of at least one year in the class to which
he is assigned; and, providing that the employee
receives a performance report showing an evaluation of
"Meets Requirements," or better, for the service period
immediately preceding his eligibility for longevity
rates. Such rates shall be applied as follows:
1.Any employee in a position paid under Schedule "A",
who has completed five years of continuous service
and who meets the requirements for eligibility as
set out above, shall be advanced to the first
longevity step for the pay grade assigned to his
class; similarly, the employee shall be advanced
to the second, third, and fourth longevity rates,
after having completed continuous service of
eight, eleven, and fourteen years, respectively.

2.Any employee in a position paid under Schedule "B",
who has completed four years of continuous service
and who meets the requirements for eligibility as
set out above, shall be advanced to the first
longevity step for the pay grade assigned to his
class; similarly, the employee shall be advanced
to the second longevity step after having
completed continuous service of six years.
3.Such increase will become effective at the beginning
of the first full bi-weekly pay period following
either the applicable anniversary date of
employment, or the twelve months of service at the
maximum rate if later.
Section Two. An emergency is hereby declared to exist
because of the immediate need to regulate relations between the
District and its classified employees. Accordingly, this
Ordinance shall take effect immediately upon its enactment, and
the provision contained herein shall take effect on August 1,
1972.
