RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance establishing a pay rate adjustment
for Municipal Judges Andrew T. Bradshaw and Robert Neel McDonald to be effective August 23, 2014

DISCUSSION: I
On July 14, 2014, the Ad Hoc Municipal Court Advisory Committee considered a pay rate adjustment for
Municipal Court Judges Andrew T. Bradshaw and Robert Neel McDonald. Both of these judges ave
completed five years of continuous service and the Committee was asked to consider a recommendation
to adjust their pay rate so it would be at the same level of pay as the other sitting associate Municipal
Judges with over five years of service. The Committee voted unanimously to recommend the pay rate
adjustment.
The new pay rate for Judges Bradshaw and McDonald is to be set at $47.23 per hour and is to become
effective on August 23, 2014. Since the purpose of this increase is to provide parity among the Municipal
Judges of comparable seniority, the Human Resource Department will process this adjustment prior tc the
implementation of the across-the-board pay increase approved by the City Council on August 12, 2014
(Resolution 4344-08-2014), which will apply to all of the Municipal Judge positions.

$564.26 for a total estimated amount of$1,128.52. ;
