Our City
Central Point is a small town, with a population of 17,000, in beautiful southern Oregon. It
borders a city of approximately 70,000 and smaller communities with populations of less
than 7,500. Central Point is bisected by both a major interstate highway and a rail line. An
international airport is within 2 miles. Local medical and educational facilities are
excellent, including several hospitals, clinics, a community college and state university. The
area enjoys warm summers and mild winters and, although it is 200 or more miles in any
direction to larger metropolitan areas, Central Point has wonderful theater, musical, and
indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities within minutes of driving time.
The City of Central Point is afull-service municipal organization-with acouncil-manager
form of government. Although the town has been incorporated for over 100 years, as
recently as 10 years ago the population was less than half the currentfigure and, as the city
grows, so grows the organization.,.It is currently in the growth phase of its organizational
life cycle. Due to the geographic pl-oximity to its larger neighbor, Central Point struggles to
create its own identity. Central Point is`not'~epen listed separately on most maps.

City of Central Point Management Compensation Plan Page 3
Section 2. Management Compensation
2.1 Previous Strategy
The previous management compensation strategy had not been reviewed in at least five
years. It was basically an extension of the negotiated compensation for the two bargaining
units, taking into consideration what other cities in the region are paying for management-
level positions. There was no written pay strategy. When a position became vacant, which
was not often, the pay was reviewed at that time. The City prefers to promote current
employees when possible and there is a written policy to'ths effect.
2.2 Management Compensation Plan - StrategrPurpose
~,
The purpose of having a written management compensation plan is to develop a
compensation strategy that is tied to the mission and the goals ~of,flie City of Central Point
and the 2007 Strategic Plan. The compensation plan must be fair; legal, consistent, and
understood by all. Having a written compensatiori:plan,should eliminate, or.at least reduce,
the likelihood of inconsistencies, o perceived or real discrimination. ~ ~.

2.3 Compensation Philosophy ~.; ~~,.~
The City of Central Pomt s~management~.~compensat~on program is designed to provide
adequate pay for 1 ~ management ernf ~ploye s:. The goal ~^of our total management
~~ ~ ~ ~ .~`
compensation program is to foster and reward performance and dedication, while at the
same time attracting su~ita'ble candi~d~ates, when needed, to fill vacancies.
~~ ~ ~ ~_
2.3.1::. Principles. ~'~.;,` ~~~ j
' •. Management~pay ranges-will be`de\ t mined, in part, by using the market average
t `~,
for the appropriate labor market as a target. Individual pay within the range will
be merit-based and; performance-driven.
• Benefit`s' will include adequate health insurance at a reasonable cost to
employees;.,and other benefits that promote a comfortable, secure workforce and
encourage ded'icatioi to the City.
• Incentives will •include deferred compensation, health reimbursement
arrangements, and paid time off.
2.3.2 Strategies
• Because the City of Central Point's success is dependent on capable and
dedicated employees, our compensation goals will strive to attract and retain
individuals who share the mission and vision of the City.
City of Central Point Management Compensation Plan Page ¢
• Our total compensation will be industry competitive and appeal to the type of
professional employees we wish to attract and retain.
• We will adequately pay all managers but we will reward those who go above and
beyond in the furtherance of our mission.
• We will hold managers accountable for the duties and responsibilities of their
positions. Regular and meaningful evaluations will be conducted to gauge
accomplishments and assess deficiencies.
• We will endeavor to provide benefits that offer the most value to, and are
appreciated by, our employees.
• We will promote dedication by provi~d!i~nggrowth and development
opportunities to employees at all levels. ~

compensation and benefits.
The salary range for each position or position class may be adjusted by the City Manager

this management compensation plan or approved City personnel policy. At any given time,
an employee shall only have accrued time "on the books" that other employees in the same
employee group accrue. When an employee changes from a bargaining unit position to a
management position, accrued compensatory time and any leaves not also accrued in the
new management position shall be paid out at the previous hourly rate at the time of the
change and in accordance with the applicable bargaining agreement or policy. By way of
example, a sworn employee in the police bargaining unit who changes to an exempt,
City of Central Point Management Compensation Plan Page 17
management position shall have all accrued comp time and holiday leave bank time paid
out upon changing positions because exempt, management employees do not accrue comp
time or holiday bank time. This provision shall apply to managers appointed after adoption
of this plan but shall not be applied retroactively to any current manager.
5.5 Work Time / FLSA Exemption
Positions covered by this plan that are exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act are not
subject to, or eligible for, overtime compensation for hours worked in excess of 40 in a
week or any specific amount in a given day. Exempt managers are paid on a monthly salary
basis to perform the duties of their position and are not required, nor expected, to keep
track of the number of hours they work. However,:it is expected that exempt managers will
work sufficient hours to complete their job duties in a tirriely manner and that they will
generally be available during working hours: Additionally, managers are expected to attend
meetings, conferences and other functions appropriate to their work. assignment, which
may fall outside the typical Monday through Friday, 8 to 5<schedule.
Although exempt managers are not e'quired to keep track of their hours `worked for the
purpose of pay, they are required`to`keep track of their use of accrued or banked leaves.
~ ~ \._
The general practice shall be that if the manager is aliserit~.from work for more than a
partial day, accrued or~banked leave shall~be used ~t account for, all of the time away. It is
understood that managers may, on occas~~on, trade time where appropriate, but this
practice shall not result in an hour-for-hour' trade of all time worked beyond a 40-hour
workweek and shall b~do e only infrequent y a d under exceptional circumstances.
Any non-exempt°management: p` osition,,cover\ed under this plan shall be eligible for
overtime:.m accordance~~with the~Fair Labor-Standards Act and state law. Non-exempt
managers ,must record al h u,rs orke:d and leave taken on an approved timesheet.
5.6
n~of Plan
Managers are covered' b'y~an'd expected to follow all City policies. Where City policy and the
~,
Management Compensat oniPlan differ, the Management Compensation Plan shall be
applied except that where the Management Compensation Plan is silent on a benefit that is
provided for in a current City policy, the policy shall apply. An example might be the Sick
Leave Bank. The Management Compensation Plan does not specifically address the Sick
Leave Bank but City Policy states that employees are eligible except as otherwise provided
for in a collective bargaining agreement or management compensation plan. Since the
Management Compensation Plan does not preclude participation, the policy shall govern.
