Vision Principles: Bold New Directions and Pride of Past Promise of Future. Background and Discussion: As part of the Budget Message for Fiscal Year 2005-2006, I expressed that our employees are our most important asset, and the City of Portsmouth is blessed to have employees that understand the importance of surpassing the expectations of our citizens. In addition, I stated that the city would begin a journey to reward, recognize and foster a learning organization for employees. The first step of the journey was the creation of the Employee Pay Advisory Committee. We chartered the Employee Pay Advisory Committee with the responsibility to work with a compensation advisor to assist in the strategic development of a pay plan that aligns our pay levels with the prevailing market. The Committee was comprised of two City Council Members and more than a dozen city employees. As a result of their work, the Committee addressed three major components of the City’s compensation plan. These are: market competitiveness, compression, and the movement of employees through their respective pay ranges. The Committee has completed its work, and we have a plan to implement the results.
