Title
Resolution authorizing an increase of the minimum and maximum pay rates for the stationary and lead stationary engineer positions, represented by the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, and increasing any incumbent's annual base wage to the new pay range minimum.
Staff Summary
* The County has a collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, which is effective from December 1, 2012 through November 30, 2017.
* The County has had difficulty recruiting for the stationary engineer position as qualified and highly qualified candidates are earning significantly more than the County's current starting salary.
* A survey of the local market requires the pay ranges for both the stationary engineer and lead engineer positions be increased to ensure market competitiveness. The parities have tentatively agreed to increase the pay ranges for the stationary engineer and lead stationary engineer positions. The salary range adjustments listed below are within the current market range:
o Stationary Engineer - $58,000 to $76,950 (currently $48,320 - $71,375);
o Lead Stationary Engineer - $62,700 to $84,645 (currently $52,999 - $78,649).
* The annual base wages of four incumbents holding the stationary engineer position will be increased to the new pay range minimum for an annual cost increase of $30,297 (or $7,600 per employee).
