AGENDA ITEM 1. Recommendation for Cost of Living Increases -
It is the responsibility of the Civil Service
Cor~nission to make a recommendation each year for
annual adjustments to salaries. Chairman Bob Henderson
- opened the meeting for all present to discuss this item.
Some employees question why the Dallas-Fort Worth
CPI figures have been used in the past when the
Charter asks for "national" figures.
Charter, Article XVII, Section 17.
"annual adjustments of all salaries conforming to the
latest published national index cost of living figures
available for consideration in the next year's budget
deliberations".
It was pointed out that the original CS Corrr~nnission
developed and published the Rules & Regulations which
apparently conflict with the Charter. The present
Commission has maintained from the beginning of its
appointment that "we will abide by the Charter".
Rules & Regulations, 5.04, second paragraph.
"Such recommendations shall include an automatic annual
adjustment of all salaries conforming to the latest
published national index cost of living figures for
the Dallas area."
Chairman Bob Henderson made a motion, "that we recorr~nend
_ to the City Manager for the City Council the latest
published national cost of living percentage figure that
we have which is 14.3% for consideration in the 1980-81
budget."
