TOWN OF HIGHLAND BEACH, FLORIDA
FINANCIAL ADVISORY BOARD
MINUTES - REGULAR MEETING
Monday, December 7, 1987 9.30 A M.
A meeting of the Financial Advisory Board was held at 9:30 a.m. on
Monday, December 7, 1987, at Town Hall.
Members present included Richard Brunton, Ben Cohen, Grover Ensley, and
Reese James. Mayor Betty Jean Stewart and Town Manager Hugh D.
Williams were also present throughout the meeting.
Following review and upon MOTION properly made and seconded, the
minutes of the November 23, 1987 meeting were accepted and approved as
written.
The Chair noted that a vacancy now exists in the F.A.B. due to
Mr. Peklenk's resignation.
The "Board" then addressed the agenda items:
LONG REPORT
The remaining area of this report scheduled for review is the
matter of job evaluations and proposed wage ranges for each
position. To assist the F.A.B. in it's review, Long Associates
were requested and agreed to provide the background data that was
the basis for their recommendations. The job evaluations were
made available and upon review were determined to follow the usual
and accepted method for establishing the appropriate value for
each position in the Town. It is the recommendation of the F.A.B.
that this aspect of the report be accepted by the Town Commission.
Unfortunately, the wage survey data has not been made available,
however, following review of the "Long" proposed wage ranges,
together with other independent wage date provided by the Town
Manager, it is the recommendation of the F.A.B. that the "Long"
proposed wage ranges be accepted subject to a maximum 40% range in
each position. It is believed that this 40% range provides the
adequate opportunity for employee financial growth. It is also
recommended that the Town Manager conduct a bi-annual review of
wages paid in comparable communities to assure that our wage
ranges represent -the current market.
1986/87 BUDGET TRANSFER
The Town Manager advised that his proposed policy for the timely
management of budget variances would be available for the F.A.B.
January 11, 1988 meeting.
