The total dollar effect of the attached merit recommendations will be an increase of 3.59%of wages. The annual cost of living increase for the year ending July 1,1975 seems to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10½to 143/4%. A realistic look at the Town’s financial position along with an examination of the rate of inflation leads me to recommend the merit increases as proposed and an across the board cost of living increase of 8.41%.This together with the 3.59%merit increase would amount to a total of 12%. ‘Dale G.Hill Town Administrator November 21,1975 Estes Park,Colorado 80517 P.0.Box 1200 Telephone (303)586-5331 00 TOWN OF ESTES PARK Dale C.Hill Town Administrator Proposed Merit Increases for 1976 General Proposed Change in Annual Salaries Percentage of Employees Recommended for Merit Increases Est.1975 Salary Expense Est.1976 Salary Expense Percentage of Increase Totals 20,924 582,365 603,289 3.59 COST ANALYSIS Estes Park,Colorado 80517 Water Light &Power Police 4,836 62½141,538 146,374 3.41 Public Works 3,396 60 106,520 109,916 3.18 Other 0 19,448 19,448 0 8,232 267,506 275,738 3.08 2,172 662/3 65,644 67,816 3.30 Office 2,468 100 54,934 57,402 4.49 Field 8,052 60 194,281 202,333 4.14 10,520 249,215 259,735 4.22 P.0.Box 1200 Telephone (303)586-5331 Administrative Committee cTh Dale C.HIM Town Administrator November 10,1975 The employee evaluations ahat are my responsibility are completed and the following recomendations are submitted for your consideration: NAI4E Dekker VanHorn, Duncan McCracken Ault SCORE PRESENT P ROPO SED 29—6 1,855 29—3 1,602 / 22-5 1,2557 27-3 l,452 27—3 1,4521 J Van Horn,J P.0.Box 1200 11—1 60 11—2 34 hHillt Town Administrator Telephone (303)586-5331 - _ TOWN OF ESIES PARK Estes Park,Colorado 80517 101 29—4 1,682 78 29—2 1,528 74 22—4 1,195 73 27—2 1,383 73 27—2 1,383 eleprione IJui)5tb-4466 P U B L I C WO R K S WA G E SU M M A R Y EM P L O Y E E CU R R E N T M E R I T JA N U A R Y 1 , 1 9 7 6 JA N U A R Y 1 , 1 9 7 6 C L A S S I F I C A T I O N WA G E RE C O M M E N D A T I O N C L A S S I F I C A T I O N WA G E FO R D 22 — 2 1 0 8 4 Y e s 22 — 3 V 1 1 3 $ T E L L E R 18 — 3 9 3 6 Y e s 1 8 — 4 ” 9 8 3 Z I G L E R 9— 3 6 0 5 Y e s 9_ 4 1 6 3 4 T R I X 9— 2 5 7 6 No 9 — 2 5 7 6 WE B E R 9— 2 5 7 6 No 9— 2 / 5 7 6 AV E R Y 15 — 1 7 3 4 Y e s 15 — 2 7 7 1 * JU L S O N 9— 1 2 7 4 No 9 - 1 V 2 7 4 S P R A D L I N G 9 - 1 5 4 $ No 9— 1 / 5 4 8 F A I R C H I L D ( A ’ ’ ) ) 1 $ - i 8 5 0 Y e s 1 8 - 2 7 8 9 2 TO T A L WA G E S 6 1 8 3 6 3 9 2 J ( I n c r e a s e — 2 0 9 o r 3 . 3 8 % 4 & i * ( I c i 20 HO U R WE E K EM P L O Y E E ) Dear Dale, TOWN OF ESTES PARK Enclosed are annual employee evaluations for the Finance Department for 1975.Merit recommendations are as foilows: 1-6to-7 9-1 to 9-2 28/ 25 28j 28 $153 Since performance evaluation is a tool used to determine employee compensation,the above recommendations are necessary to motivate high levels of performance and reward employees for their outstanding performance in the Department.Ninety per cent of five employees is four and one half employees which should be rounded to five and include each one.The annual cost for a step increase for five employees is $1,836.00 or 5%. id End.5 A.Duncan,Finance Officer Dale G.Hill,Town Administrator Town of Estes Park F.0.Box 1200 Estes Park,Colorado 80517 Estes Park,Colorado 80517 November 7,1975 Employee Performance Score Grade and Step Daniels Porter Szydlo Downs Green 71 71 70 70 69 Cost per Mo. 3—5 to 3-6 9-1 to 9-2 9-1 to 9-2 Sincerely yours, P.0.Box 1200 Telephone (303)586-5331 Dale G.Hill Town Administrator P.0.Box 1200 Estes Park,Colorado 80517 Dear Dale: I would like to make the following recommendations: NAME P RE SENT Grade/Step &Salary RECOMMENDED Grade/Step &Salary Everitt Hattan 14—5 850 14—6 892 Lee Goracke 14—5 850 17—3 892 I would like to recommend that Mr.Hattan’s classification be grade 14,step 6,because of his improved knowledge of the water plants,his relationship with the men and his willingness to work before and after regular working hours when the occasion arises.

These men are at the low end of the evaluation scores,but they are not slackers.By comparison they just are not quite as aggressive as most of the other men.Generally they are doing what is expected of them.They fill important jobs in our department.Pat,especially, would be expensive to replace. There probably were some inequities in the original placements of some of the men in mid 1974.For instance Pat,with nearly one and one half years more time with us,was placed at the same grade and step as Ron.After three and one half years employment he is now only on step 2 of Meter Specialist I. The reason for this letter,of course,is to request that these men be considered for merit increases if funds are available.This would increase each of their take home pays by nearly $25.00 per month. This places our merit increase requests at 100%for our permanent employees which was stated earlier as “probably not realistic”.How ever,the present economy with the high rate of inflation also is not realistic.If we can help our men stay in position to keep their financial obligations under control,I believe they will be able to do a better job for us.
