Thank you, Mr.

Vice President and members of the board.

I move that we perfect board bill number twelve.

It's been moved by the Alderman from the 14th, seconded by the Alderman from the from the first that we perfect board bill number twelve.

Alderman, you may proceed.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President, members of the board.

Board bill number twelve is uh a continuation of trying to help our city employees.

What board bill number twelve will do is a repeal of the previous three percent pay increase, and we are creating or putting in place uh a new three percent pay increase that was done through the compensation study.

This ordinance put uh effect for recommendations that was a citywide classification and compensation study that was done by Evergreen Solutions.

Um this three percent will allow uh for recommendations, including some title changes and adoption of new open pay ranges.

This also moves a lot of the uh individuals in the city of St.

Louis where they start in salary will uh go up.

So people that are coming into the city of St.

Louis applying for certain jobs, salaries will um be a little higher than what they previously were.

Uh all employees moving to the open range pay schedule will receive a minimum of three percent pay increase.

Some employees will receive more than the three percent as a result of the increase to the minimum of the salary.

So um this is like I say a opportunity for us to support our city workers.

This has been an ongoing thing where uh previous and current administrations are putting in these three percent pay increases to try to help our city of St.

Louis uh uh workers, and it gives an opportunity for other departments to also opt in, such as the Board of Alderman, which we have done in the past.

I'm really proud about uh this legislation.

I appreciate everybody who signed on as a co-sponsor and also appreciate the mayor's um uh collaboration and want to give a huge shout out to personnel director Brian Light that has worked very hard on this.

Uh we just recently did the one-time lump sum, uh, which civil service employees will be getting, and then as this uh passed, it will go into the FY27 uh budget cycle where City of St.

Louis City of St.

Louis uh employees will be getting a three percent rage raise as well as raising the minimum pay uh for a lot of these positions throughout our city of St.

Louis, and I will open up or any questions, Mr.

Vice President.

Any discussion?

Alder Woman from the 12th, you're recognized Mr.

Mr.

Vice President members of the board if the alderman from the 14th would yield.

Alderman from the 14th, will you yield to questions from the alder woman from the 12th?

Yes.

Alder Woman, you may proceed.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Um Altman, um, you talked about first of all, you talked about a uh open range pay scale.

Is that something new or something that has been uh done before?

Because I don't remember that term, and maybe you're using a different term than I am familiar with.

So is that way for people to get paid in the same grade at different levels?

Can you explain that to me, please?

Yeah, you're breaking up.

I'm trying to figure out what are you saying about open range?

You can I'm breaking up, is that what you say?

Yes, Alder Woman.

That's correct, Alder Woman.

I can hear most of what you're saying, is just like it's is breaking up as you speak.

It's your uh kind of grainy.

I don't understand that.

That's from your end.

That's a little better.

I'm trying to ask a question about open range.

Um, and that could you give that definition?

That's what I'll say.

Since you can't hear me.

I can't ask questions if you can't hear me.

Open range.

What are you asking about that?

Are you saying the open?

I don't I don't recall the term open range.

Is that a new term or something I've just forgotten?

In which people can get paid an open amount between certain uh amounts in the same pay grade, is uh pay uh level.

Is that what that is?

Yes, ma'am.

Okay.

And how who is determining that?

So if you and I are both entry levels, is that determined by experience?

What who makes that determination and and what it is, what is it based on?

Uh I'm not sure what is based on.

I'm sure it would be based on if somebody put an application in based on the resume and it will determine most likely between the director and the personnel.

Um whether the director of the department at a person is trying to go into in forestry parks, uh health, and uh the director of personnel.

So then the either the appointing authority or the director of personnel, what do you know if it's one or the other or both that would make that determination?

I I mean, in the past, from what I've heard, it is um department heads that have worked with uh the director, and we have a new one that they work together to believe if an employee uh deserves a higher wage, they have to work with the personnel director on that because you know we also have pay grades.

If you go too high, you may go over a pay grade, which changes the the title of that actual position, but it would be in collaboration with the department of personnel and whatever department that an individual is going out to apply for.

I remember something of that happening at the board.

We wanted to give our secretaries raises, and I think what happened is that we that's how they all became executive secretaries to give them a raise.

So we made them all executive secretaries, I think, because at the uh formerly only the person who sat back in the back with the senior autumn made up higher pay level than everybody else, and that was uh quite unpopular.

Um the other thing is that is this uh going to encompass the three percent uh raise we just gave everybody, or would it also encompass anything that might come later if we found out we could give bonuses?

Is this how what does this cover?

What's the range that this covers?

I guess is the question I'm asking.

Is it for the year for I think you said in the uh in the um in the board bill that it is until we change it?

So could we change it say six months from now if we wanted to?

So uh if I'm hearing you correctly.

That's uh that that's all right, that's all right.

That's fine.

I will uh try to find out.

Um if you are you gonna intending on passing this bill today, suspending the rules?

No, ma'am.

Okay, then I can just ask you later.

I'll find with that.

Thank you.

Okay.

Any further discussion?

Alder Woman from the 7th.

Alder Woman from the 7th.

Madam Clerk, am I correct in that she has her hand up?

She has her hand up.

Okay.

Alder Woman from the 7th, you're recognized for discussion on board bill number 12.

Alder Woman from the 7th, we saw you on camera briefly.

Are you your hand is up?

Are you wanting to speak on board bill number 12?

Yes, yes, I'm sorry.

Uh thank you, Mr.

West President.

Uh added as a co-sponsor is what I heard, I think.

The Alderwoman from the 7th would like to be added as a co-sponsor to board bill number 12.

Oh no, it is.

Thank you.

Any further discussion?

Alder woman from 13th, yeah.

Alder Woman from the 13th, you're recognized.

Uh Mr.

President, I think it's something wrong with the uh internet or something because everybody is being chopped up and voices on clear.

We actually heard you pretty loud and clear, Alder Woman.

There you did.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you, Alder Woman.

Any further discussion?

Alder Woman from the 11th.

Um, I I too am having the same issue.

Um, it's going in and out.

I was actually knocked off earlier and got back on to the meeting, but it is it's really choppy this morning.

Okay.

Uh we actually could hear you pretty well, Alder Woman from the 11th.

Uh, but I will ask the uh clerk's office to uh take a look into SLTB.

But we are almost at the end of our agenda at this point.

Um is there any further discussion on board bill number twelve seeing none?

Madam Alderman, you're recognized to close.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President, members of the board.

Uh again, uh Board Bill 12 is just the annual 3% pay raises that we have been doing for the last several years.

I think this is uh there's been a lot of work done between the personnel department and um uh Evergreen solution to come up with this compensation study.

Again, a lot of our uh positions throughout the city of St.

Louis will be lifted to where maybe like a forestry workers start, and I'm not clear on the numbers, but say they start at 40.

A lot of uh different departments uh minimum now would be lifted maybe to like 45 or 46.

So when people that are coming in starting higher as well as uh this three percent would raise a lot of our employees throughout the city of St.

Louis.

This is another way I think from uh city government is trying to show that uh we're trying to be competitive with a lot of other regions and other uh places that you know pay higher.

Um but we appreciate our city workers.

We know our city workers work hard every single day from the Board of Alder to Forestry to Streets to every department uh work very hard and not uh being compensated in the way that they should.

Uh it was excited that we were able to get the one one-time lump sum across the finish line that would be going on people checks uh very soon, and then if you have civil service employee, and this 3% would be a 3% that will go for all uh employees throughout the city of St.

Louis.

So uh I appreciate the individuals that signed on as a co-sponsor of the mayor uh and ask my colleagues for their favorable consideration on board bill number twelve Madam Clerk.

Please call the roll.
