The City Council hereby approves an amendment to Resolution No. 2021-08-965 to amend
the compensation philosophies set forth as follows.

competitive in the Collin County Market, reviewing these for such annually, working towards
the 50th percentile, weighted for organizational size and population served.

compensated for performance, targeted at 3.5% maximum for the highest performance
rating, providing for performance improvement plans and deferrals for low performers not
meeting expectations, yet encouraging excellence by tying salary increases to performance.
Philosophy 4: Maintain a retention system, for encouraging senior and long-term
employees, rewarding longevity, consistent with system internal equities, inclusive of
longevity pay, incremental adjustments based on tenure, and lump sum payment when
achieving the top of scale or step, not to exceed $2,000,

increase for promotions (or the next highest step if in a step plan)
