4. The City Manager is responsible for the overall development and implementation of the City's Classification and Pay Plan and for promulgating policies and procedures for the equitable administration of the plan. 5. The City Manager is hereby authorized to establish policies governing the award of any additional compensation to employees in positions exempt from the overtime provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the circumstances under which such compensation may be made. 6. The City Manager is hereby authorized to develop, administer and implement the Classification and Pay Plan for all classes of City of Portsmouth employees effective July 1, 2021 and thereafter. 7. The original proposed FY 2022 City Operating Budget recommended funding for a general wage increase for general and public safety City employees. However, the budgetary funding for the general wage increase was based on estimates of City revenues that may be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, the City Manager will monitor City revenues and if it appears that revenues actually received by the City are or will be less than the revenue estimates on which the adopted City budget is based, it may be necessary or prudent for the City Manager not to move forward with the recommendation for the wage increase. At such time as the City Manager may determine appropriate, general (including City Council appointees who are subject to the Classification and Pay Plan) and public safety employees who were hired on or before June 30, 2021 (but excluding Constitutional Officers and their employees, and part-time, temporary and grant funded employees) may receive a general wage increase of up to 3 %. 8. There shall be no adjustments of retirement allowances (0 %) as prescribed in Sections 30 -122 and 30 -243 of the Code of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia (2006). 9. That Ordinance No. 2020 -39, adopted on May 12, 2020, is hereby repealed. 10. That this Ordinance, together with the policies developed by the City Manager in accordance with the terms hereof, constitutes the Fiscal Year 2022 Classification and Pay Plan for the City of Portsmouth. 11. That this ordinance shall take effect on July 1, 2021. ADOPTED by the Council of the City of Portsmouth, Virginia, at a meeting held on May 11, 2021. Teste: City Clerk
