RESOLUTION NO. RS2013-712

A resolution adopting a new pay plan for the employees of The Metropolitan Board of Health effective January 1, 2014.

WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Board of Health, acting in its official capacity as a Civil Service Commission, has, pursuant to Sections 12.09 and 12.10 of the Metropolitan Charter, assigned each employment classification to a salary grade as of July 1, 2013, with such assignments being equitably related to each other; and,

WHEREAS, the Board of Health’s Civil Service Commission has adopted the salary ranges for each grade; and,

WHEREAS, the Director of Personnel for the Board of Health has recommended, after the Commission’s approval, desirable salary ranges for each grade to the Director of Finance; and,

WHEREAS, due to the economy, the Metropolitan Government experienced the need to implement cost saving measures for FY10, FY11, FY12, and FY13 by delaying employee increment advances each year; and,

WHEREAS, in light of the necessity to implement cost saving measures but still address the financial needs of employees of the Metropolitan Government, increments were replaced in FY11 by a two (2%) percent salary lump sum payroll adjustment, by passage of Resolution No. RS2010-1230, in FY12 by a one and one-half (1.5%) percent salary lump sum payroll adjustment, by passage of Resolution No. RS2011-1675; and in FY13 by a two (2%) percent and four (4%) percent across the board salary increase, with the amount of increase depending upon the level of the classification, by passage of Resolution No. RS2012-275; and,

WHEREAS, due to the economy, the Metropolitan Government once again needs to implement cost saving measures for FY14 yet recognize the financial needs of all government employees; and,

WHEREAS, under current economic times, there are limited funds available each year to use for salary increases for Metropolitan Government employees; and,

WHEREAS, the Board of Health’s Civil Service Commission has approved and recommended to the Director of Finance to give a salary increase to all Metropolitan Government employees of the Metropolitan Board of Health; and,

WHEREAS, the recommended increase for all employees of the Metropolitan Board of Health is one and one-half (1.5%) percent, with such increase becoming effective as of January 1, 2014; and

WHEREAS, the Director of Finance has approved the recommendation of the Board of Health’s Civil Service Commission and forwarded the same with a statement of full budgetary implications to the Mayor for his approval; and,

WHEREAS, the Mayor has approved the plan and recommends its adoption by the Metropolitan County Council.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT OF NASHVILLE AND DAVIDSON COUNTY:
