[Amended 12-21-1982 by Ord. No. 3-9-82; 9-4-1990 by Ord. No. 510-90]
(1)
The starting salary for each officer and employee shall be not less
than the minimum of the salary range of the particular office or position,
and the respective salary ranges shall accrue and become payable in
not more than three (3) annual increments if the incumbent maintains
an acceptable level of performance, except in case of officers and
employees who are appointed for a fixed term, in which event the respective
salary ranges shall accrue and become payable in not more than annual
increments than the years in each fixed term. Payments of the annual
increments established herein shall be contingent on the availability
of funds and the financial position of the city and rest in the discretion
of the majority of the City Council. Where Schedule A[1] does not include a salary for each of the four (4) steps
in the schedule for a position, no increments will accrue on an annual
basis, the intent being that the incumbents of these positions will
have their salaries reviewed annually and adjusted as the Mayor shall
determine.
