Dir. Rex Roax was also present. As there were no other public comments, Mayor Baudek closed the public hearing.

Trustee Barker commented that although the 2002 Budget has been prepared it is not final, and all community service agencies are encouraged to follow the application process for funding. Town Administrator Widmer added that funding support continuance is based on statistical reports from the various agencies that confirm how the Town's funding from the previous year was expended. This report is due prior to the budget preparation for the next year. Staff will notify recipients of their funding contributions for 2001, and the tentative funding level for 2002.

ESTES VALLEY LAND TRUST (EVLT) - FUNDING REQUEST. Administrator Widmer briefed the Board on a $20,000 funding request from the Land Trust. The EVLT has committed to the purchase of the Mills/Kiley Conservation Easement. Larimer County has committed $45,000, the Rky. Mtn. Nature Assn./GoCo will commit $200,000, and neighbors will be asked to contribute approximately $100,000 as well. It was moved and seconded (Gillette/Jeffrey) the $20,000 funding request be approved. Trustee Habecker stated he will vote against this funding as the site is too far outside Town Limits, and although there is potential goodwill that could be derived, there are more demands for in- town support. Trustee Barker concurred with Trustee Habecker adding that the County receives the lion's share of open space monies, thus the County is in a more favorable position to support this funding request. Additionally, an emphasis on the Town's open space monies has been designated for trails. Trustee Jeffrey, who serves on the Larimer County Open Lands Board, believes Estes Park's heritage includes areas outside Town Limits. There are potential benefits that include education uses. Trustee Newsom stated the site is located too far outside Town Limits and not in the Town's best interest. Those voting 'Yes", Trustees Doylen, Gillette and Jeffrey. Those voting "No", Trustees Barker, Habecker, and Newsom. The resultant vote was a tie. Mayor Baudek commented that there are arguments on both sides, adding that a conservation easement on this approach to Estes Park is preferable to development, there are future returns if the property is owned by the Land Trust, and the Town could ask the EVLT for their support on certain Town issues. Mayor Baudek cast his vote in favor of the request, thus the EVLT funding contribution of $20,000 was approved. Concluding all agenda items, Mayor Baudek adjourned the meeting at 9:04 p.m. John Baudek, Mayor Vickie O'Connor, Town Clerk 'ILL November 22,2000 PROCEDURE FOR TRANSFER OF LIQUOR LICENSE TOWN CLERK Will present the application and confirm the following: 0 The application was filed October 17, 2000 m The Town has received all necessary fees and hearing costs.

In order to fulfill the Town's vision and mission, it is important to maintain a high quality work force. Therefore, in the interest of keeping good employees, and attracting quality applicants for current and future openings, a two-part proposal is offered. Part one is implementation of the Compensation Study and adoption of a Compensation Policy. Part two provides for a small merit pool to reward superior performance during 2000. I. Compensation Study Per Town policy our pay plan is "reviewed periodically to (1) determine the adequacy of existing pay rates to reflect cost of living changes and other influencing factors, and (2) take into account any pertinent changes in responsibilities or qualifications that may impact the classification of a job." The last independent compensation study was conducted in 1994. During 2000, staff selected Public Sector Consultants to conduct a thorough review of the Town's pay plan. The review included identifying the appropriate market cities for comparison, reviewing forty benchmark positions, establishing relational linkages for non-benchmark positions, establishing a permanent pay structure and determination of a cost of housing factor to be applied to comparison cities. lit tp://www.estes net.coin (970) 586-5331 • RO. 13OX 1200 · 170 MAC GREGOR AVENUE • ESTES PARK, CO 80517 • FAX (970) 586-28-1 6 A. Adjustments Implementation of the pay plan can be done at varying rates. Currently, positions are assigned a pay grade based on past pay studies. Over time, an individual progresses through the pay grade by way of merit increases. Therefore, the individual is at a certain percentage of the pay grade due to merit increases. The table below itemizes the costs associated with placing employees in the proposed pay plan at their current percent of grade (100%) or at varying fractions as listed. The pay plan proposal includes a cost of living adjustment of 3.8% for the Denver/Boulder area as reported by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics. Percent of Current Placement Cost over 2000 Payroll 100% $616,680 85% $514,801 75% $446,881 65% $378,962 50% $257,074 The Pay Plan Team recommends that all salaries be adjusted to the minimum of the ranges proposed in the new plan. Then place each employee at 75% of his/her current placement in range as determined by experience and longevity. This strategy provides for a fair method of determining placement for all employees and allows for future advancement based on superior performance. Cost: $446,881 B. Compensation policy In order to establish a standard for setting pay both now and in the future, the following Compensation Policy is proposed. The policy establishes criteria for selecting comparison markets, includes a housing factor, and sets a standard annual cost of living adjustment. In addition, the policy directs that in the event that market adjustments are necessary, they will be made during the year. This allows the Town to adjust salaries to be current with our comparison market. 2 Proposed Compensation Policy "The Town of Estes Park will annually compare its salaries to market data in an effort to maintain a competitive salary structure. Furthermore, adjustments to salaries and pay grades will adhere to this policy. For all positions excluding Light and Power positions, salaries will be compared annually to a market consisting of Colorado cities and towns that are providing similar services and have a population of 15,000 to 20,000 residents.

In order to avoid lagging behind the comparison cities and towns, adjustments will be made following the market comparison. Adjustments as indicated by the market study will be made by the end of September of each year. A Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) as indicated by the Denver-Boulder Consumer Price Index (CPI) as reported by the Department of Labor, will be applied to the first pay period ofthefollowing year. The COLAwill be applied to all positions within the Town of Estes Park. All adjustments will be made contingent upon available funding" II. Merit The Town's current "Pay Philosophy" is based on a "merit" compensation system. Therefore, employees set goals in early 2000 with the understanding that accomplishment of those goals and above average performance in measured areas would make them eligible for a merit increase. In the 2000 budget, 4.5% of payroll was allocated for merit increases for 1999 performance. The Mountain States Employers Council estimates that the average wage increase along the Colorado Front Range will be 4.8% at the end of 2000. Due to the changes anticipated in the pay structure, a smaller merit pool is proposed for the 2001 payroll. Staff requests 1.5% ofthe 2001 payroll tobe awarded for superior performance during 2000. A maximum merit award of 2% will be permitted, however departments will be limited to a budget of 1.5% of their respective payrolls. These merit increases will be in addition to any adjustments caused by implementation ofthe new pay plan.
