VISION Suffolk is a vibrant and fiscally strong community leading the region in advancements in education, comprehensive transportation, public safety and diverse economic growth while continuing to preserve its rural heritage and enhancing its neighborhoods and urban centers. Throughout 430 square miles of rich land and pristine waterways, citizens and tourists treasure the beautiful trails, rivers and open spaces. Residents, visitors and merchants delight in the revitalized downtown featuring cultural, educational and recreational opportunities. Diverse shopping, businesses and entertainment venues abound. A sense of harmony and pride permeates this rare community, where crime is low; where schools are cutting edge; where people and goods move safely and efficiently throughout the city; and where citizens receive valuable services and have opportunities to be engaged. Suffolk is the desired destination of the Hampton Roads Region. The City achieves this by focusing on the following: Financial Stability – Continue practices that ensure strong financial management and fiscal responsibility. Leisure, Health, and Wellness – Implement programs and services designed to improve the health, economic and social wellbeing of citizens. Expanded Economic Development – Implement strategies that add new businesses and provide jobs for a skilled and diverse workforce, retain and enhance existing businesses, promote entrepreneurship, create a vibrant downtown, and build an economy that expands our tax base. Transportation – Increase capacity and connectivity of our roadways and public transportation system.

These fees shall be reviewed annually with the development of the annual operating budget.

CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

FY 17 Budget Status: The City continues to maintain strong local collection rates ranging from 96% to 99% for local taxes and fees with collection rates documented annually in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report. 2.04 Use of Fund Balance The City’s General Fund equity balance will be utilized to provide sufficient working capital in anticipation of current budgeted revenues and to finance unforeseen emergencies without borrowing. The General Fund equity of the City (Unassigned Fund Balance) will not be used to finance current operations. FY 17 Budget Status: The City’s budget has been balanced with current General Fund revenues supporting all current General Fund expenditures for FY 17. The proposed FY 17 Budget does provide for a draw of $2M from the Unassigned Fund Balance to assist with one-time capital project expenses. The $2M is anticipated from excess General Fund revenues in FY 16 which will fall to the Unassigned Fund Balance at the end of the fiscal year. 2.05 Restricted Revenue Restricted revenue (such as Medicaid or Asset Forfeiture funds) shall only be used for the purpose intended and in a fiscally responsible manner. FY 17 Budget Status: The City’s budget utilizes restricted revenues strictly for the designated purpose.

BUDGET 3.01 Balanced Budget The provisions of the Code of Virginia shall control the preparation, consideration, adoption and execution of the budget of the City. In addition, the City Charter requires the budget to be balanced with planned expenditures equal to estimated revenues. The City will annually adopt and execute a budget for such funds as may be required by law or by sound financial practices and generally accepted accounting principles. The budget shall control the levy of taxes and the expenditure of money for all City purposes during the ensuing fiscal year. The City budget shall be balanced within all available operating revenues, including the fund balance, and adopted by the City Council. FY 17 Budget Status: The FY 17 budget is balanced for all funds operated by the City denoting appropriate tax rates where applicable to sustain operations. Budget and tax rate ordinances have been appropriately prepared authorizing the appropriation of all required funds. 3.02 Use of Current Revenues to Support Current Expenditures Ongoing and stable revenues will be used to support ongoing operating costs. 194


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

FY 17 Budget Status: The budget is dependent on stable revenues and conservative revenue projections to support operations. 3.03 Use of One-time Revenue and One-time Expenditure Savings The use of one-time revenues and one-time expenditure savings (excess cash balances) will be used for non-recurring expenditures. FY 17 Budget Status: All one-time revenues are designated to support one-time expenditures.

3.04 Review of Fees and Charges Fees established by the City for licenses, permits, fines, services, applications and other miscellaneous charges shall be set to recover all or a portion of the City’s expense in providing the attendant service and reviewed annually with the development of the annual operating budget. FY 17 Budget Status: All City fees and charges are reviewed annually with revisions provided to recover a portion of the City’s expenses associated with the service provision. 3.05 Revenue and Expenditure Projections The City will prepare and annually update a long range (5 year) financial forecast model utilizing trend indicators and projections of annual operating revenues, expenditures, capital improvements and related debt service and operating costs, and fund balance levels. FY 17 Budget Status: A 5 year projection of revenues and expenditures has been prepared using conservative assumptions. This plan includes planned capital improvements, related debt service, operating costs, projected fund balance levels and required real estate tax rate adjustments. This report is provided as an appendix to the budget. 3.06 Budget Performance Monitoring The Finance Budget Division will maintain ongoing contact with the departmental fiscal officers during the process of the budget execution. Expenditure and revenue projections will be developed quarterly and reviewed with Departmental Directors, the Finance Committee of the City Council, the City Manager, and the City Council. The City Manager through the Budget Division of Finance will exercise appropriate fiscal management as necessary to live within the limits of the adopted budget. FY 17 Budget Status: Quarterly revenue and expenditure projections are provided to Departmental Directors, the Finance Committee, the City Manager, and City Council.

CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

3.07 Maintenance of Capital Assets The budget should provide sufficient funds for regular repair and maintenance of capital assets. FY 17 Budget Status: The operating and capital budget provides adequate repair and maintenance funds to support City capital assets. 3.08 Fund Balance Levels The City will employ sound financial management principles to include the establishment of an unassigned fund balance sufficient to maintain required working capital and provide a reserve for unanticipated expenditures or emergencies, revenue shortfalls, and other non-recurring uses. The ratio of Unassigned General Fund balance as a percentage of Budgeted Governmental Funds Expenditures (net of the General Fund Contribution to Schools, transfer to other Governmental Funds, and Capital Projects Fund Expenditures) plus budgeted expenditures in the School Operating and Food Service Funds indicates the ability of the City to cope with unexpected financial problems or emergencies. The larger the Unassigned General Fund balance, the greater the City’s ability to cope with financial emergencies and fluctuations in revenue cycles. The City has established a target rate of 12% at the close of each fiscal year as computed on the upcoming budget year. Once the Unassigned general fund balance target is achieved by the City, it is intended to be maintained for the upcoming fiscal year from prior year surpluses and budgeted additions as available before any other needs are addressed. In the event Unassigned Fund Balance is required to be drawn below the 12% target rate due to an emergency (such as a natural disaster) or due to severe economic circumstances, the City will develop a plan to restore the Unassigned Fund Balance over the ensuing two to three years. Compliance with fund balance policy will be reviewed and reported to City Council at least annually in conjunction with the development of the operating budget and with any significant budget amendments made during the fiscal year. FY 17 Budget Status: The FY 17 Unassigned General Fund balance is projected to exceed the targeted 12% by the close of the fiscal year at 14.9%. 3.09 Self-Insurance Rate Stabilization Fund The City will strive to maintain a rate stabilization fund for its insured risks in an amount equal to 20% of anticipated annual premium costs. This rate stabilization fund may be reduced or increased by management based on professional judgment and anticipated claims cost estimates. FY 17 Budget Status: The projected balance in the Risk Fund at June 30, 2016 is anticipated to be sufficient to provide the required $3.3M in rate stabilization funds to support the FY 17 budget.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLANNING 4.01 Capital Improvement Program In order to prepare and plan for upcoming capital needs, comply with debt ratio targets, schedule debt issuance, and systematically improve capital infrastructure, the City will annually prepare and adopt a minimum five-year Capital Improvements Plan. The adopted Capital Improvements Plan will include major capital improvements and identify estimated revenue sources and annual operational costs for facilities to include anticipated debt service requirements. Capital improvements do not include routine maintenance on existing capital assets. FY 17 Budget Status: A 10 year Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) is prepared and updated annually providing 5 years of detailed projects, revenue sources, debt requirements and annual operating costs. This plan is prepared by the City Manager and reviewed by a committee to include members of the Planning Commission and the City’s elected Finance Committee members. The Plan is reviewed, edited, and recommended by the Planning Commission to the City Council who in turn, reviews, edits and adopts the Plan for consideration of year one projects in the upcoming operating budget proposal. A current CIP was adopted by City Council in February 2016 for use in the FY 17 budget. 4.02 Pay-As-You-Go Capital Improvement Funding The City will develop an escalation plan to accomplish an annual allocation of an amount equal to 3% of the General Fund departmental expenditures (excluding transfers out, grants, fund balance and reserve allocations, debt service, and respective flow-through expenditures) to pay-as-you-go-capital improvements annually. The escalation plan will begin with the FY 08 adopted budget and shall be increased annually for the ensuing five (5) year period until the 3% target is achieved. FY 17 Budget Status: The budget includes $4,064,920 in cash funded projects or 3% of General Fund departmental expenditures for FY 17.

DEBT The City Council generally follows the guidelines listed below in making financial decisions on debt issuance. Adherence to these guidelines allows the City to plan for the necessary financing of capital projects while maintaining credit worthiness. In addition, continued adherence to these policies will ensure the City’s strong financial position. The City shall use an objective analytical approach to determine whether it can afford new or additional general purpose debt. This process shall use the City’s standards of affordability. These 197


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

standards include the measures of debt service payments as a percent of current expenditures and debt as a percent of taxable real estate value. 5.01 Revenue Anticipation Notes (RANS) The City does not intend to issue tax or revenue anticipation notes (RANS) to fund government operations but rather to manage cash in a fashion that will prevent any borrowing to meet working capital needs. The City may issue RANS in an extreme emergency beyond the City’s control or ability to forecast when the revenue source will be received subsequent to the timing of funds needed. Such issuances will be for a period not to exceed a one year period. 5.02 Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) The City may issue Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) in expectation of General Obligation or Revenue Bonds when cash is required in order to initiate or continue a capital project or when longterm markets do not appear appropriate but have a clear potential for improvement within the designated BAN time frame. The City will not issue Bond Anticipation Notes (BANS) for a period beyond two years. If the City issues a bond anticipation note for a capital project, the BAN will be converted to a long-term bond or redeemed at its expiration. 5.03 Letters of Credit The City may enter into a letter-of-credit (LOC) agreement when such an agreement is deemed prudent and advantageous. The City will prepare and distribute a request for proposals to qualified banks which includes terms and conditions that are acceptable to the City. 5.04 Lease Purchase Obligations Lease purchase and master lease obligations, including certificates of participation or lease revenue bonds, shall be considered as an alternative to long-term vendor leases. Such debt shall be subject to annual appropriation. 5.05 Public Private Partnerships The City recognizes the value of developing public-private partnerships. As such, public-private partnerships financings that require the City to provide capital or credit enhancement to a project will be considered in light of the following:    

The project is multi-faceted requiring coordinated and/or accelerated development; The project is non-traditional with mixed use of public and private components; The project calls for the bundling of design, construction and operation phases; or There is an urgent need to construct multiple facilities or other public infrastructure simultaneously to keep pace with a rapidly growing population. 198


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES 

The project has undergone a rigorous cost-benefit analysis by City Staff (or agents employed by the City for such purpose). If the project ultimately requires City credit enhancement, such obligations will be treated as if debt by the City.

5.06 Compliance with Legal Requirements Pursuant to the Constitution of Virginia (the Constitution), the City is authorized to issue bonds secured by a pledge of its full faith and credit and unlimited taxing power. There is no requirement in the Constitution, the Virginia Code or the City Charter that the issuance of general obligation bonds be subject to the approval of voters of the City at referendum. The issuance of general obligation bonds is subject to a constitutional limitation of ten percent (10%) of the assessed value of taxable real property. The City’s Charter further limits the issuance of general obligation bonds to seven percent (7%) of the assessed value of taxable property. 5.07 Debt Ratio Policies

Debt as a Percentage of Assessed Value This ratio indicates the relationship between the City’s debt and the total taxable value of real and personal property in the City. It is an important indicator of the City’s ability to repay debt, because property taxes are the source of the City’s revenues used to repay debt. A small ratio is an indication that the City will be better able to withstand possible future economic downturns and continue to meet its debt obligations. Debt as a Percentage of General Government Expenditures This ratio is a measure of the City’s ability to repay debt without hampering other City services. A smaller ratio indicates a lesser burden on the City’s operating budget. The numerator shall include debt that is not selfsupporting from a user fee revenue stream. A selfsupporting revenue stream is defined as a revenue stream that provides coverage of all debt service obligations without general fund support (to include tax assessment districts and funds supported by committed state revenues in support of such debt). Any long term financing lease obligations which may be subject to annual appropriation by the City will also be included in the calculations of tax-supported debt service. General governmental expenditures are expenditures reported in the City’s governmental funds (excluding the General Fund Contribution to Schools and the Capital Projects Fund) 199

and expenditures reported in the School Operating and Food Service Funds. Compliance with the above debt policy ratios will be calculated each fiscal year in conjunction with the budget development process and provided to Council with the proposed annual budget. 5.08 Long Term Debt Policy The City will use debt financing for capital improvement projects and unusual equipment purchases under the following circumstances: A. When the project is included in the City’s capital improvement program and/or is generally in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. B. When the project is not included in the City’s Capital Improvement Program, but it is an emerging critical need whose timing was not anticipated in the Capital Improvement Program, or it is a project mandated immediately by state or federal requirements. C. When the project’s useful life, or the projected service life of the equipment, will be equal to or exceed the term of the financing. D. When there are designated revenues sufficient to service the debt, whether from project revenues, other specified and reserved resources, or infrastructure cost sharing revenues. The following criteria will be used to evaluate funding options for capital improvements: A. Factors that favor pay-as-you-go: 1. Current revenues and adequate fund balances are available. 2. Project phasing is feasible. 3. Debt levels would adversely affect the City’s credit rating. 4. Financial market conditions are unstable or present difficulties in marketing the sale of long-term financing investments. B. Factors that favor long-term financing: 1. Revenues available for debt service are considered sufficient and reliable so that longterm financing can be marketed with the highest possible credit rating. 2. The project for which financing is being considered is of the type that will allow the City to maintain the highest possible credit rating. 3. Market conditions present favorable interest rates and demand for municipal financings. 4. A project is mandated by state or federal requirements and current revenues and fund balances are insufficient to pay project costs. 5. A project is immediately required to meet or relieve capacity needs. There are many different types of long-term debt instruments available. Depending on the specific circumstances, the City will consider using the following types of financing instruments:   

General Obligation Bonds General Obligation Bonds sold to Virginia Public School Authority for School Capital Projects Revenue Bonds 200


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES   

Certificates of Participation Lease Revenue Bonds Selected State Pooled-Borrowing Programs for Utility Revenue Bonds, Including Those of the Virginia Resources Authority.

5.09 Bond Structure The City shall establish all terms and conditions relating to the issuance of bonds, and will invest all bond proceeds pursuant to the terms of the City’s Investment Policy. Unless otherwise authorized by the City, the following shall serve as bond requirements: 1. Term. All capital improvements financed through the issuance of debt will be financed for a period not to exceed the useful life of the improvements, but in no event will the term exceed thirty (30) years. 2. Capitalized Interest. From time to time certain financings may require the use of capitalized interest from the issuance date until the City has beneficial use and/or occupancy of the financed project. Interest shall not be funded (capitalized) beyond three years or a shorter period if further restricted by law. Interest earnings may, at the City’s discretion, be applied to extend the term of capitalized interest but in no event beyond the term allowed by law. 3. Debt Service Structure. Debt issuance shall be planned to achieve relatively equal payment of principal (declining debt service) while matching debt service to the useful life of facilities. The City shall avoid the use of bullet or balloon maturities except in those instances where these maturities serve to make existing overall debt service level. The City may elect a less rapid or other debt service structure, such as level debt service at its discretion. 4. Call Provisions. In general, the City’s debt will include an early redemption (or “call”) feature, which is no later than 10 years from the date of delivery of the bonds. The City will avoid the sale of non-callable bonds absent careful, documented evaluation by the City in conjunction with its financial advisor with respect to the value of the call option. 5. Original Issue Discount. An original issue discount will be permitted if the City determines that such discount results in a lower true interest cost on the bonds and that the use of an original issue discount will not adversely affect the project funding. 6. Deep Discount Bonds. Deep discount bonds may provide a lower cost of borrowing in certain markets. The City will carefully consider their value and effect on any future refinancings as a result of the lower-than-market coupon associated with deep discount bonds. 7. Derivative Structures. Alternative, non-traditional financing structures such as derivatives are becoming more common in the municipal market. Structured properly, these products frequently provide a means for the City to achieve its goals in a cost effective manner. The City will consider the use of derivatives as a hedge against future interest rate risk or to create “synthetic” fixed rate or variable rate debt, when appropriate. The City will not use derivative structures for speculative or investment purposes. The City will consider the use of derivative structures when it is able to gain a comparative borrowing advantage, and is able to quantify and understand potential risks. Prior to the use of such structures, the City will consider the adoption of a comprehensive Swap and Derivative Management Plan that is 201


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

consistent and does not conflict in principle with this governing policy. Prior to use of a derivative structure, the City will provide written communication to City Council describing potential risks associated with each proposed derivative structure. 5.10 Variable Rate Debt To maintain a predictable debt service burden, the City may give preference to debt that carries a fixed interest rate. The City, however, may consider variable rate debt. The percentage of variable rate debt outstanding (excluding debt which has been converted to synthetic fixed rate debt) shall not exceed 20% of the City’s total outstanding debt and will take into consideration the amount and investment strategy of the City’s operating cash. The City will consider issuing variable rate debt to: a) Match Asset and Liabilities: By issuing variable rate debt the City matches variable interest rates to its short-term investment assets. b) Potentially Lower Debt Service Costs: Historically variable interest rates are less than fixed rate cost of capital. c) Add Flexibility and Diversity to the City’s Debt Structure: Variable rate bonds are traditionally callable every 30 days and can generally be refunded on a fixed rate basis to take advantage of low fixed rates and open up variable rate capacity for higher rate environments. In determining its use of variable rate debt, the City will utilize an analysis from the City’s Financial Advisor evaluating and quantifying the risks and returns involved in the variable rate financing. 5.11 Refinanced Outstanding Debt The Director of Finance with assistance from the City’s Financial Advisor will have the responsibility to analyze outstanding bond issues for refunding opportunities. The City will consider the following issues when analyzing possible refunding opportunities: 1. Refunding Policy. The City establishes a minimum aggregate present value savings threshold of 3% of the refunding bond principal amount. The present value savings will be net of all costs related to the refinancing. Debt service savings may be taken in equal amounts over time or on an upfront or deferred basis, at the City’s discretion. 2. Restructuring. The City will refund debt when it is in the best financial interest of the City to do so. Such refundings will be limited to restructuring to meet unanticipated revenue expectations, achieve costs savings, mitigate irregular debt service payments release reserve funds or remove unduly restrictive bond covenants. 3. Term of Refunding Issues. The City will refund bonds within the term of the originally issued debt. However, the City may consider maturity extension, when necessary to achieve a desired outcome, provided that such extension is legally permissible. The City may also consider shortening the term of the originally issued debt to realize greater savings. The 202


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

remaining useful life of the financed facility and the concept of inter-generational equity should guide this decision. 4. Escrow Structuring. The City shall utilize the least costly securities available in structuring refunding escrows. A certificate will be provided by a third party agent stating that the securities were procured through an arms-length, competitive bid process (in the case of open market securities), and that the price paid for the securities was reasonable within Federal guidelines. Under no circumstances shall an underwriter, agent or financial advisor sell escrow securities to the City from its own account. 5. Arbitrage. The City shall take all necessary steps to optimize escrows and to avoid negative arbitrage in its refundings. Any resulting positive arbitrage will be rebated as necessary according to Federal guidelines. 5.12 Methods of Issuance The City will determine the method of issuance on a case-by-case basis. 1. Competitive Sale. In a competitive sale, the City’s bonds shall be awarded to the bidder providing the lowest true interest cost as long as the bid adheres to the requirements set forth in the official note of sale. 2. Negotiated Sale. The City recognizes that some securities are best sold through negotiation. In its consideration of a negotiated sale, the City shall assess the following circumstances: a. Bonds issued as variable rate demand obligations b. A structure which may require a strong pre-marketing effort such as a complex transaction or a “story” bond c. Size of the issue which may limit the number of potential bidders d. Market volatility is such that the City would be better served by flexibility in timing a sale in a changing interest rate environment 3. Private Placement. From time to time the City may elect to privately place its debt. Such placement shall be considered if other methods are not viable. 5.13 Bond Insurance The City may purchase bond insurance when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. Use of bond insurance shall be based on such insurance being less costly than the present value of the difference between the interest on insured bonds versus uninsured bonds. In the case of a competitive sale, the City may permit bidders for its bonds to purchase bond insurance if such insurance will enhance the market reception and lower the interest rate on the City’s bonds. The City will submit an application for pre-qualification for insurance to facilitate bidders’ ability to purchase bond insurance. The winning bidder in a competitive sale will bear any associated cost with such enhancement. 203


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES

In the instance of a negotiated sale, the City will solicit quotes for bond insurance from interested providers. The City will select a provider whose bid is most cost effective and whose terms and conditions governing the guarantee are satisfactory to the City. 5.14 Use of Special Districts The City may consider using special districts such as Tax Increment Financing Districts, Community Development Authorities and special taxing districts to finance projects that:      

Strengthen the employment and economic base of the City; Increase property values and tax revenues; Reduce poverty; Create economic stability; Facilitate economic self-sufficiency; or Assist in implementing the City’s economic development strategies.

Before using such districts, the City will consider the fiscal impact, the market feasibility and credit implications of the project or district. 5.15 Debt Service Reserves If necessary, the City may establish a reserve fund funded from bond proceeds, subject to federal tax regulations and in accordance with the requirements of credit enhancement providers and/or rating agencies. The City may purchase reserve equivalents (i.e., a reserve fund surety or letter of credit) when such purchase is deemed prudent and advantageous. Such equivalents shall be evaluated in comparison to cash funding of reserves on a net present value basis. 5.16 Underwriter Selection Senior Manager Selection. The City shall select a senior manager for any proposed negotiated sales. The selection criteria shall include but not be limited to the following:      

The firm’s ability and experience in managing transactions similar to that contemplated by the City Prior knowledge and experience with the City The firm’s ability and willingness to risk capital and demonstration of such risk and capital availability Quality and experience of personnel assigned to the City’s engagement Financing plan presented Underwriting fees

Co-Manager Selection. Co-managers may be selected on the same basis as the senior manager. In addition to their qualifications, co-managers appointed to specific transactions will be a function of transaction size and the necessity to ensure maximum distribution of the City’s bonds.

204

Selling Groups. The City may establish selling groups in certain transactions. To the extent that selling groups are used, the Director of Finance at his or her discretion, may make appointments to selling groups from within the pool of underwriters or from outside the pool, as the transaction dictates. Underwriter’s Counsel. In any negotiated sale of City debt in which legal counsel is required to represent the underwriter, the appointment will be made by the Senior Manager with input from the City. Underwriter’s Discount. The Director of Finance with assistance from the City’s financial advisor will evaluate the proposed underwriter’s discount against comparable issues in the market. If there are multiple underwriters in the transaction, the Director of Finance will determine the allocation of underwriting liability and management fees. The allocation of fees will be determined prior to the sale date; a cap on management fee, expenses and underwriter’s counsel will be established and communicated to all parties by the Director of Finance. The senior manager shall submit an itemized list of expenses charged to members of the underwriting group. Any additional expenses must be substantiated. Evaluation of Underwriter Performance. The City will evaluate each bond sale after completion to assess the following: costs of issuance including underwriters’ compensation, pricing of the bonds in terms of the overall interest cost and on a maturity-by-maturity basis, and the distribution of bonds and sales credits. Following each sale, the Director of Finance shall provide a report to the City Manager and City Council on the results of the sale. Syndicate Policies. For each negotiated transaction, the Director of Finance will prepare syndicate policies that will describe the designation policies governing the upcoming sale. The Director of Finance shall ensure receipt of each member’s acknowledgement of the syndicate policies for the upcoming sale prior to the sale date. Designation Policies. To encourage the pre-marketing efforts of each member of the underwriting team, orders for the City’s bonds will be net designated, unless otherwise expressly stated. The City shall require the senior manager to:   

Equitably allocate bonds to other managers and the selling group Comply with MSRB regulations governing the priority of orders and allocations Within 10 working days after the sale date, submit to the Director of Finance a detail of orders, allocations and other relevant information pertaining to the City’s sale.

5.17 Consultants Financial Advisor. The City shall select a financial advisor (or advisors) to assist in its debt issuance and debt administration processes. Selection of the City’s financial advisor(s) shall be based on, but not limited to, the following criteria: 205


CITY OF SUFFOLK, VIRGINIA FINANCIAL POLICIES    

Conflicts of Interest. The City requires that its consultants and advisors provide objective advice and analysis, maintain the confidentiality of City financial plans, and be free from any conflicts of interest. Bond Counsel. City debt will include a written opinion by legal counsel affirming that the City is authorized to issue the proposed debt, that the City has met all legal requirements necessary for issuance and a determination of the proposed debt’s federal income tax status. The approving opinion and other documents relating to the issuance of debt will be prepared by counsel with extensive experience in public finance and tax issues. The Bond Counsel will be selected by the City. Disclosure by Financing Team Members. All financing team members will be required to provide full and complete disclosure, relative to agreements with other financing team members and outside parties. The extent of disclosure may vary depending on the nature of the transaction. However, in general terms, no agreements shall be permitted which could compromise the firm’s ability to provide independent advice which is solely in the City’s best interests or which could reasonably be perceived as a conflict of interest. 5.18 City Financial Disclosure The City is committed to full and complete financial disclosure, and to cooperating fully with rating agencies, institutional and individual investors, City departments, and the general public to share clear, comprehensive, and accurate financial information. The City is committed to meeting secondary market disclosure requirements on a timely and comprehensive basis.

UTILITY FUND It is the intent to reflect the financial policies of the Utility Fund to provide for adequate cash management and bond coverage for the operation of the system. 6.01 Independence The Utility Fund will maintain financial independence from the General Fund by: a. Continuing the funding of all Utility Enterprise Fund revenue requirements from the Utility Enterprise Fund, thereby receiving no financial support from the General Fund. b. Issuing self-supporting debt payable solely from the Utility Enterprise Fund. 6.02 Unrestricted Cash and Long Term Investments Balance It is the intent of the Utility Enterprise Fund to have adequate cash reserves to provide for ninety days of operating activity including debt service. Current unrestricted cash and cash equivalent balances plus operating long term investments will be at a target percentage rate of 25% of the operating expenses less depreciation expense plus current debt expenses (principal and interest). If the Unrestricted Cash and Long Term Investments Balance fall below the target level, the utility system will have twenty four months to bring the balance back in line with the target level. 6.03 Amortization The Utility Fund will continue to amortize bond issues so the useful life of the project being financed is not exceeded. 6.04 Debt Service Coverage Ratio Net Revenues should be at least 1.15 times the annual debt service requirement. Net Revenues shall be defined as operating revenues plus availability charges plus interest income plus contributions from Western Tidewater Water Authority less operating expenses plus depreciation and amortization. Excess revenues will be available to first build and maintain the Utility enterprise Cash and Cash Equivalents plus Long Term Investments then secondly to provide equity funding for future capital projects. Over time adherence to this policy will reduce the overall amount of debt issued by the City for various utility projects. 6.05 Asset Replacement and System Extension After the completion of the City’s new water treatment facility (estimated completion is 2015), the City will review the amount of funds being set aside for replacement and/or extension of all Utility system assets such that new assets will not be 100 percent debt financed.

EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC

Chapter 1 – Introduction

In April 2015, Evergreen Solutions was retained by the City of Suffolk (City) to review the Compensation and Classification Study Final Report completed in 2009 with an emphasis on reviewing Phase 3 recommendations and applicability given the time since completion of study; reviewing salaries of employees included in the 2009 study and those not included in the 2009 study (~300 employees hired after study completion) to assess compression; reviewing title changes recommended; and reviewing the City’s Compensation Philosophy. As part of the study, Evergreen Solutions, LLC was tasked with: 

collecting and reviewing current data present at the City;

conducting meetings with all department heads to solicit feedback on classifications in their assigned area of responsibility;

reviewing job descriptions and obtaining job analysis questionnaires for a sampling of classifications;

analyzing 2015 market data and providing feedback to the City regarding current market competitiveness;

developing strategic positioning recommendations using market data and best practices that addressed both compression and market competitiveness;

developing a compensation structure and implementation cost plan; and

developing and submitting draft and final reports summarizing findings and recommendations.

1.1

Chapter 1 - Introduction

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

Kickoff Meeting A kick-off meeting was held on April 7, 2015 and provided an opportunity to discuss the history of the organization, finalize the work plan, and begin the data collection process. Data collection of relevant background material (including existing pay plans, organization charts, past studies, employee database, job descriptions, and other pertinent material) was part of this process. Planning for department head meetings was also discussed during this meeting. Department Head Meetings Department head meetings were held on April 22-23, May 4, and May 11-12 with each department head to brief them on the purpose and major processes of the study. This process was intended to address any questions and resolve any misconceptions about the study review and relevant tasks. In addition, department heads were asked to identify any concerns they had about classification and positions that had been experiencing significant recruitment or retention issues. For example, department heads shared feedback on classification titles changes recommended by the 2009 study that were no longer appropriate; classification title changes needed but not recommended in the 2009 study; and recommendations for breaking out classification titles into levels based on variation in the complexity of work performed by incumbents in those classifications or the education, certification, or professional designations required for a classification. Job Questionnaire For positions department heads recommended for change during the department head meetings or classification titles recommended for change in the 2009 report, Evergreen asked that a job questionnaire be completed to verify that the change was warranted. Evergreen’s job questionnaire was designed to collect detailed information on a classification, including information on job responsibilities; tasks and the time spent on each; education, experience, and certification requirements of the position; working conditions; leadership and supervisory responsibilities; complexity related to knowledge required; relationships (i.e. types of interactions, such as with internal City employees only or external stakeholders); autonomy in decision making; financial responsibilities; use of equipment and machinery in completion of tasks; and physical requirements. Based on the completed job questionnaire, Evergreen had detailed information about the classifications in question needed to determine the appropriateness of each recommended change. Review of Market Survey Data As a critical component of this review, Evergreen collected market survey data and placement recommendations from the 2009 study and compared these data side-by-side with 2015 market data sourced from the TechNet survey database, which included local governments within the Hampton Roads area. The objective of this comparison was to determine if the pay ranges recommended in 2009 were below, equal to, or above pay range values based on 2015 market data for each City classification. Once this was determined, Evergreen was able to make recommendations on whether each City

Evergreen Solutions, LLC

257


Chapter 1 - Introduction

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

classification’s pay range should be maintained at the level recommended by the 2009 study, or be adjusted to align with current market data. In addition to analyzing the pay grade placement of each City classification, Evergreen assessed the overall structural framework of the City’s salary schedule using market data. Specifically, the range spread (i.e. the percentage difference between the minimum and maximum of any pay grade) of the schedule was assessed to determine how closely it aligned with market average range spread and midpoint progression (i.e. percentage difference between the midpoint of one pay grade and the next sequential pay grade) was assessed to determine if it was set at a level commensurate with best practice. Solution Creation Solution creation followed agreement on the structure of the compensation system. During this phase, desired range spreads and midpoint progressions were established. Once the structure was created, classifications were slotted into the proposed pay grade structure using 2015 market data and Client Project Manager (CPM) feedback. The second step in the creation of the solution was to identify the costs associated with transitioning employees into the proposed system. To accomplish this, data from the job slotting process were applied to the individual incumbents in the organization. The model provided by Evergreen allowed the City to view the total costs associated with all recommended changes. During this process, Evergreen assessed the Phase 3 salaries recommended in the 2009 report for each employee, which have yet to be implemented, to determine if they were appropriate based on 2015 market data and to determine the affect they had on compression (as approximately 300 employees were not included in the 2009 study and therefore were not slated to receive increases, exacerbating compression).

EVERGREEN SOLUTIONS, LLC

Chapter 2.0 Assessment of Current Conditions The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overall assessment of the current structure of the compensation system in place within the City of Suffolk (City); provide an overall assessment of the structure of the compensation system recommended in the 2009 study; provide a comparison of 2009 and 2015 market data for City classifications; and provide an assessment of compression and employee salary placement for all City employees. The data contained within this chapter provide the foundation for more detailed analysis and recommendations, but are not sufficient cause for recommendations in isolation. By reviewing information about the City’s compensation structure and employee distribution, Evergreen Solutions gained a better understanding of the structures and methods in place which helped identify issues for both further review and potential revision.

2.1

CURRENT STRUCTURE

The City currently has 422 classifications across 25 departments. Exhibit 2A displays the number of classification titles by department. Note that because some titles are counted in two or more departments, the total count provided in the exhibit does not reflect the actual number of total titles. As can be seen, the department with the greatest number of classification titles is Public Works, with a total of 78 classification titles. Conversely, the department with the fewest number of classification titles is the Registrar Department, with one classification. Of the 422 classification titles at the City, 87 are a part of a leveled classification series, which is a classification broken out into two or more levels. There are 36 classification series in total, which are displayed in Exhibit 2B. Typically, levels are created for a classification when there is sufficient evidence to support an increase in the complexity of the work performed, or when special licenses or certifications are required for a position but not necessarily required at the entry level. In a compensation system such as the City’s, levels should be created only when these conditions are present, and should not be used when the only requirement to advance from one level to the next is experience. This is because experience is recognized by progression through a pay grade, and should not be doubly recognized through the use of leveling. The City’s current pay plan is displayed in Exhibit 2C. As can be seen, the City’s current pay plan includes 32 pay grades numbered non-consecutively between 7 and 50. Pay grades 7 through 18 are used for classified and paraprofessional classifications; pay grades 19 to 29 are used for professional and select managerial classifications; pay grades 30 through 40 are primarily used for managerial and assistant director classifications; and pay grades 44, 46, and 50 are used for executive level classifications. Currently, pay grades 42 and 48 do not have any classifications assigned to them.

The current pay plan’s midpoint progression (i.e. percent difference between the midpoints of each grade) varies between 3.8 and 10.9 percent, and averages 5.7 percent overall. Best practice dictates a completely uniform midpoint progression of between 3 and 5 percent. This allows all classifications to be slotted into a pay grade that is, at most, +-2.5 percent away from market value when the market midpoint of a classification does not fall directly on a midpoint in the pay plan. Pay grade range spreads range from a low of 61.3 percent in the lower grades to a high of 77.4 at the top of the pay plan. For pay grade range spreads, best practice dictates a range spread of between 50 and 70 percent; however, alignment with market average range spread should also be heavily considered when determining an appropriate range spread for an organization.

PROPOSED 2009 STRUCTURE

The proposed pay plan from the 2009 study, which has not yet been implemented by the City, is displayed in Exhibit 2D. As can be seen, the proposed pay plan has 24 pay grades numbered consecutively between 101 and 124. Pay grades 101 through 105 include all support classifications; grades 106 through 112 include all skilled and entry level professional classifications; grades 113 through 117 include all professional and managerial classifications; grades 118 through 122 include all executive classifications; and grades 123 and 124 are not assigned any classifications. Midpoint progression of the pay plan varies between 6.0 and 21.0 percent, with an average of 9.3 percent overall. The range spreads range from a low of 49.1 percent in the case of the executive grades, to a high of 60.5 as is seen in grade 113 through 117. EXHIBIT 2D 2009 PROPOSED PAY PLAN Grade

As with the pay plan recommended in 2009, the classification titles recommended in 2009 have not yet been implemented by the City. The 2009 proposed pay plan consists of 377 classifications; a reduction of approximately 45 classifications from the existing number of 422 (note that since the 2009 study, a number of classifications have been added or removed, so this reduction may be overstated or understated). While the 2009 study proposed reducing the number of job titles overall, it increased the number of classifications

in series/levels. Specifically, of the 377 classifications recommended by the 2009 study, 99 were part of a classification series (40 classification series in all). As with the City’s current pay plan (Exhibit 2C), the 2009 proposed pay plan has weaknesses which include that it has a non-uniform midpoint progression, and, while range spreads are in line with best practice (50-70 percent), they do not align with average market range spreads based on 2015 data.

2.3

MARKET COMPARISON

This section provides a summary of how the City’s current pay ranges compare to the 2009 and 2015 market data for the selected benchmark classifications. Market data were gathered for a total of 210 positions and are included in this analysis (note that duplicate titles in various departments were removed from this analysis as well as positions with market data but with no current pay grade to compare market data too). The 2009 market data were sourced from the 2009 study, and included Newport News, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, and Hampton for positions where the labor pool was local, and the above mentioned municipalities as well as Alexandrea, Chesterfield, Richmond, and Hanover for positions recruited more regionally. The 2015 market data were sourced from TechNet data made available by the City. TechNet data include a total of six peer cities, as follows:      

Chesapeake Hampton Newport News Norfolk Portsmouth Virginia Beach

Exhibit 2E displays both 2009 and 2015 market data, as well as the variance (var.) between current pay grade values and market data at minimum, midpoint, and maximum of pay grade values. A positive variance percentage indicates that the City’s current pay grade value is greater than the market value, and a negative variance percentage indicates that the City’s current pay grade value is lower than the market value displayed.

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

Exhibit 2E displays the average variance between market data and current City pay grades. As can be seen, using the 2009 data, the City is 3.3 below market at pay grade minimum, 0.5 percent below market at pay grade midpoint, and 1.3 percent ahead of market at pay grade maximum. In comparing the City’s current pay grades to 2015 data, the City is 2.4 percent behind market at pay grade minimum, 1.2 percent behind market at pay grade midpoint, and 0.4 percent behind market at pay grade maximum. The data indicate that, on average, City pay grades have become less competitive with the market since 2009. As can be seen, there are individual classifications that are more significantly behind market than others. The following subsection provides an analysis of outcomes at the individual classification level. Market Minimums Market minimums are generally considered a starting wage for employees who meet the minimum qualifications for each job. Those employees with salaries at or near the range minimums are generally new to the role and have not acquired the skills and experience necessary to be fully proficient in their classification. However, it is critical that an organization maintain minimum pay grade values commiserate with the market in order to remain competitive with peers with regards to attracting new employees. Utilizing the 2015 data gathered in the salary survey for the benchmarked positions, the following conclusions can be reached: 

The surveyed position differentials ranged from 32.9 percent below market minimum to 40.1 percent above market. The below market positions average 10.0 percent below market at minimum.

Of the 210 positions with market minimum percent differentials, 125 (59.5 percent) are below market at the minimum. Of these behind market positions, 46 were at or above market in 2009.

Overall, 85 positions (40.5 percent) were found to be at or above market at pay grade minimum. Of these above market positions, 41 were below market in 2009.

Market Midpoints This subsection explores the comparison between the 2015 average peer midpoints and the City’s current classification midpoints. Midpoint is frequently considered the point at which employees could expect their salaries to be placed if they have achieved full proficiency in their job duties. It is considered the best point of comparison for analyzing variance between an organization and their market peers. Based on the 2015 data gathered at the market midpoint of the salary range, the following can be determined:

Chapter 2 - AOCC

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

The surveyed position differentials ranged from 32.6 percent below market midpoint to 47.7 percent above market midpoint. The below market positions average 10.1 percent below market at midpoint.

Of the 210 positions with market midpoint percent differentials, 113 (53.8 percent) are below market at the midpoint. Of these behind market positions, 67 were at or above market in 2009.

Overall, 97 positions (46.2 percent) were found to be at or above market at pay grade midpoint. Of these above market positions, 38 were below market in 2009.

Market Maximums The City’s salary range maximum values were also compared to the 2015 survey average maximums. Market maximums are often utilized to attract highly qualified employees or retain experienced individuals in a classification. When comparing 2015 peer market maximums and the City’s current maximums, the following can be determined: 

The surveyed position differentials ranged from 35.2 percent below market maximum to 52.5 percent above market maximum. The below market positions average 10.5 percent below market at maximum.

Of the 210 positions with market maximum percent differentials, 106 (50.5 percent) are below market at the maximum. Of these behind market positions, 65 were at or above market in 2009.

Overall, 104 positions (49.5 percent) were found to be at or above market at pay grade maximum. Of these above market positions, 36 were below market in 2009.

Taken together, it is apparent that the City’s pay grades are below market, and that significant change has occurred between the 2009 variance from market and the 2015 variance from market for many classifications.

COMPRESSION AND PLACEMENT

In addition to assessing the current and 2009 proposed City pay plans, as well as variances between the City’s classification pay grades and market data, an analysis of employee salaries was also conducted to determine if issues with compression and placement currently exist and to assess the effect of implementation of the 2009 recommendations on compression. The analysis to assess compression includes an assessment of the correlation between years of experience and salary for each pay grade, where a strong correlation between these variables would indicate that compression is not an issue and a weak correlation would indicate that compression is present. Weak correlation between years of

Chapter 2 - AOCC

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

experience and salary signifies that salary level is not tied to years of experience, and that there are numerous instances where employees with less tenure earn more than employees with greater tenure. Exhibit 2F displays the correlation between salary level and years of experience by pay grade under the City’s current pay plan and under the 2009 proposed pay plan, if Phase 3 were to be implemented (note that pay grades with one or no incumbents have been excluded). As can be seen, the average correlation coefficient between these two variables is currently 0.33 and after implementation of Phase 3 would be 0.34. A correlation coefficient of 1.00 would indicate a perfect relationship between years of experience and salary level; however, the correlation coefficients under the current and 2009 proposed pay plan indicate a very weak relationship between these variables. Generally, a strong correlation is maintained between these variables to ensure equitable treatment of employees based on years of experience. The analysis to assess placement issues determines the variance between each employee’s actual salary and their expected salary. Once the expected salary placement is determined, it is compared to each employee’s actual salary to determine the variance. For this analysis, employees have been grouped into one of four categories, including: 

those whose actual salaries are 10 percent or more above expected salary;

those whose actual salaries are between 0 and 10 percent above expected salary; those whose actual salaries are between 0 and 10 percent below expected salary; and

those whose actual salaries are 10 percent or greater below expected salary.

For those employees where the variance is found to be negative, it is typically recommended that their salary be brought to the level of expected salary unless there is reason for current placement (e.g. demotion or poor performance). For those employees with no variance, or positive variance, no additional action is typically recommended. Exhibit 2G displays this analysis of variance between employee’s current salary placement and expected salary placement by pay grade (note that the specific formula used to calculate employee salary can be found as part of Recommendation 1 on page 3-3). Expected placement is calculated by completing the following process for each employee: 

Step 1: Calculate Expected Range Penetration % = Years of Experience in Current Job/30 years*

Step 2: Calculate Expected Salary Placement = (Expected Range Penetration % X (Max – Min)) + Min

*Length of typical career

Exhibit 2G illustrates that most employees are compensated within 10.0 percent of their expected salary. However, there is a large percentage of employees compensated more than 10.0 percent above their expected placement. This is not an indication that the affected employees are excessively compensated, but rather that employee salaries are not linked with years of experience in their respective classifications. This high placement is potentially the result of salary ranges that are below market and do not properly reflect traditional salary growth in the affected classifications. In other words, employees are compensated above expected levels because the expected levels, calculated using current range spreads, are too low. Exhibit 2H displays a similar analysis, but uses Phase 3 salaries in lieu of current salaries. As can be seen, the issues identified in Exhibit 2G would be slightly exacerbated by implementation of Phase 3.

CONCLUSION

Several conclusions should be drawn from the analyses included in this chapter. First, both the existing pay plan and the pay plan recommended in 2009 possess weaknesses related to range spread and midpoint progression that should be addressed. Second, since 2009, market data has changed, and in some cases has changed drastically. Therefore, implementation of recommendations from the 2009 study would place City classifications in pay grades not commensurate with 2015 market data. Finally, compression and placement issues exist under the current compensation plan and would not be improved by implementing 2009 study recommendations.

Chapter 3.0 Recommendations

The recommendations in this chapter seek to build on the strengths of the City of Suffolk’s (City) compensation and classification plan and also to address the challenges observed through the course of the study. Internal factors such as the future direction of the City, the organizational culture, and availability of resources influenced these recommendations. Each has also been developed to address a specific need based on the collected information while taking into account the external environment. Arriving at the overall solution for the City was a detailed process involving all components of the research conducted which was reviewed and discussed in previous chapters of this report. FINDING In the 2009 Compensation and Classification study conducted for the City, it was recommended that the City implement changes to its compensation system in three phases. Specifically, it was recommended that the only action in Phase 1 and 2 should be to move employees incrementally toward the final recommended salary; essentially 1/3 of the way each time. Then, it was recommended that in Phase 3 employees be brought up to 100 percent of the recommended salary; the recommended pay plan be implemented; and the recommended classification titles be implemented. To date, the City has implemented Phase 1 and 2 as planned, but has yet to implement Phase 3. It is projected that implementation of Phase 3 carries a cost impact of $1.1 million. One of the priorities of this review was to assess Phase 3 salaries to determine if they are still appropriate given the time elapsed since the 2009 study, and to determine the potential impact of implementation of Phase 3 salaries on compression. The process for this analysis was multistep, and included: 

analyzing employee compensation data to determine if significant compression exists now, and the extent to which Phase 3 implementation will impact it;

using updated 2015 market data to determine appropriate thresholds (minimums and maximums) for each classification's pay grade;

producing models/options for placing employees into these pay grades to determine which approach would best address compression (models provided a target salary for every City employee and took into consideration employees not included in the 2009 study); and

comparing each employee’s target salary to their proposed Phase 3 salary from the 2009 study to determine if Phase 3 salaries are appropriate.

Chapter 3 - Recommendations

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

This process of comparing Phase 3 salaries and Evergreen's recommended salaries yielded the following: 

9.2 percent of employee Phase 3 salaries were lower than what Evergreen would suggest based on 2015 data and models to address compression. Also of importance, some employees would receive salaries below the minimum market value for their position under the Phase 3 approach; a practice that is not recommended.

31.1 percent of employee Phase 3 salaries were higher than what Evergreen would suggest based on 2015 data and models to address compression. Also of importance, some employees would receive salaries that exceed maximum market value for their position under the Phase 3 approach; also a practice that is not recommended.

The implementation of Phase 3 does not improve compression, and in some cases acts to exacerbate it.

The correlation between years of experience and salary level is 0.33 currently, would be 0.34 after implementation of Phase 3 salaries, and is 0.59 under Evergreen’s model. Note that perfect correlation cannot be achieved because of the VRS increase some employees are receiving. Also, it cannot be achieved because some employees are already placed at higher salaries than what Evergreen’s model would recommend and it is not recommended that their salaries be decreased. However, the model does achieve substantially greater correlation and provides the City with a method to place employees moving forward that will maintain equity between years of experience and salary.

Taken together, it is apparent that Phase 3 implementation will only act to increase issues with compression as well as place employees at salaries not aligned with market. RECOMMENDATION 1: Implement employee salaries that align with 2015 market values and reduce compression versus implementing Phase 3 salaries from the 2009 study. The City should not implement Phase 3, at a cost of $1.1 million, as recommended by the 2009 Report. Rather, the City should determine employee salaries based on a model that aligns them to 2015 market data; includes all employees versus just those there at the time of the 2009 study; and addresses compression issues to the extent possible. The model suggested bases each employee's salary off of years of experience, ensuring that across all grades and classifications there is a healthy positive linear relationship between years of experience and salary. There are two suggested implementation options with different implementation costs for this recommendation, each of which is outlined below: 

Option 1 – Apply a VRS shift increase to eligible employee salaries (required) and then apply Evergreen’s model to determine each employee’s final salary, which Evergreen Solutions, LLC

Page 3-2

281


Chapter 3 - Recommendations

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

provides each employee credit for years of experience, prior to January 1, 2016, in their classification, as well as a 0.2 year credit for each year of experience with the City but not in the same classification. 

Option 2 – Apply a VRS shift increase to eligible employee salaries (required); then apply a two percent cost of living (COLA) increase to all employee salaries to ensure the City does not fall further behind market; finally, apply Evergreen’s model to determine each employee’s final salary, which provides each employee credit for years of experience, prior to January 1, 2016, in their classification, as well as a 0.2 year credit for each year of experience with the City but not in the same classification.

Both models assume that it takes 30 years of experience to reach pay grade maximum for non-executive employees and 40 years of experience to reach pay grade maximum for executive employees. The specific calculation to determine employee salary under Evergreen’s model is as follows (note that the “30” used in this formula is replaced by “40” for executive employees): [((Maximum – Minimum)/30) * (Years in Class+ ((Years at City – Years in Class) * 0.2))] + Minimum

The total costs of these options are displayed below. Option

FINDING The City’s current pay plan possesses both strengths and weaknesses. Strengths include that the schedule’s range spread is between 44.0 percent and 50.0 percent, in line or above market average range spread, and the City’s schedule is open range. Over the last ten years, municipalities and many other public sector organizations have moved away from the step pay plan style to an open-range type schedule such as the City’s in order to increase flexibility in administration. Identified weaknesses of the City’s current pay plan include that it’s midpoint progression (i.e. percent difference between the midpoints of each grade) varies between 3.8 and 10.9 percent, and averages 5.7 percent overall. Best practice dictates a completely uniform midpoint progression of between 3 and 5 percent. This allows all classifications to be slotted into a pay grade that is, at most, +-2.5 percent away from market value when the market midpoint of a classification does not fall directly on a midpoint in the pay plan. Further, pay grade range spreads range from a low of 61.3 percent in the lower grades to a high of 77.4 at the top of the pay plan. While this is in line with best practice, it is not aligned with market average range spread. Addressing these weaknesses will act to improve the City’s existing pay plan. RECOMMENDATION 2: Adopt the proposed salary schedule displayed in Exhibit 3A to address the weaknesses identified by Evergreen. Evergreen Solutions, LLC

Chapter 3 - Recommendations

Compensation and Classification Study Review for the City of Suffolk, VA

The proposed pay plan displayed in Exhibit 3A: 

is laid out in a similar format as the current salary schedule;

labels pay grades more intuitively, by not skipping numbers;

provides additional pay grades to accommodate the market values of all City classifications;

maintains a uniform midpoint progression of five percent; and

maintains range spreads in-line with the market average.

The proposed pay plan conforms to best practice, while using the current City pay plan as its framework. FINDING In order to determine appropriate placement of all classifications onto the proposed salary schedule (Exhibit 3A), Evergreen conducted a two-part analysis. This process included an external equity analysis of market compensation data collected using a salary survey instrument, and an internal equity analysis of select City classifications using a job questionnaire. The external market compensation analysis identified City classifications compensated below market average, while the internal equity analysis identified City classifications compensated disproportionately to other City classifications based on complexity of the job performed; where classifications with a like internal worth would be expected to be compensated similarly. The job questionnaire also allowed Evergreen to assess the classification title changes proposed throughout the course of the study to determine if they would be a good fit for each classification. The results from these analyses were used to determine appropriate placement into the proposed salary schedule. Proposed placement ensures that City classifications are being compensated competitively in comparison to the market, and that internally City classifications are being equitably compensated based on similar levels of job complexity and responsibility. Based on this two-fold analysis, Evergreen identified proposed placement for each City classification into the proposed pay plan as well as a final recommended title for each position. RECOMMENDATION 3: Adopt the proposed grade order list displayed in Exhibit 3B, which ensures both internal and external equity; aligns each classification’s pay grade value with 2015 market value; and incorporates feedback from City staff and findings from Evergreen’s job questionnaire to establish titles that accurately reflect the roles and responsibilities of each position.

FINDING As a component of this study, Evergreen reviewed promotional practices at the City. Currently, the City provides a flat promotional rate of five percent regardless of the number of pay grades an employee is promoted. Typically, best practice calls for a promotional rate of five percent if an employee is promoted to a position one pay grade higher, and a ten percent promotion rate if an employee is being promoted to a position that is two pay grades or more above their current pay grade. This approach provides flexibility in ensuring that employee’s being promoted can be slotted at a salary that is internally equitable to those of their peers. RECOMMENDATION 4: Review and revise the City’s promotion rate to be more in line with market and best practice.
