A. A classification plan is hereby established for offices and positions
in the service of the City, and establishing compensation grades thereof.

to each as herein provided.
C. The officers, positions, officials and classifications are hereby
allocated and fixed into salary grades in accordance with the following
schedule.
A. Compensation for union and contract personnel is located in the individual
union contract documents, individual employee contracts and the City
Employee Handbook.
B. Whenever personnel with a "Grade" classification covered by this

which is the next highest in wage or salary from the step level or
salary they were receiving in their former grade.
C. Whenever personnel with a "Position" classification covered by this
article are promoted or appointed to a higher salaried position, such
