• f Minutes - Regular Meeting, March 4, 1981, Page 4 • Cline: Well, Officer Jacobs, let me ask you, according to 1269M all officers receive the same pay? They are not in the step program like we are. Jacobs: No, Baytown, Pasadena, Galveston, any of the Cities which have Civil Service, they do have a breakdown in the salaries. Mr. Hudgens has a copy of this breakdown that the personnel director has given him that clearly shows the breakdown from each city. Hudgens: Unless they have changed since the last time the Legislature met, it is very specific. It says all officers will be paid the same salary. Cline: It says here in 1269M: "All persons in each classi- fications shall be paid the same salary in addition to longevity pay, seniority pay, educational incent- ive pay and so forth. So what you are saying, Officer Jacobs, is that that isn't necessarily as written. Jacobs: True, do you have one of those copies in your office that she has given you as far as her study? • Hudgens: No, you have my book. Jacobs: No, I'm talking about the salary study from the Cities, that she has drawn up concerning our structure. I saw it one day in his office. I know it is there. Cline: Well, we ask for some comparisons to see what 1269M does for you. We have 5 steps that increase your salary at the end and I was led to believe that could not be under 1269M. Jacobs: Not from the handout I recieved in the City Manager's office that he received from Mary Davis. The one she had received, I think from Pasadena. Hudgens: What Sammy is talking about is, it's been 2 years since our classified salary system has been updated so we authorized her to contact other cities on all levels. The State statute is very explicit; I had to borrow Knox's book because Sammy had mine. I can't explain what you are talking about; there were some ranges in the other cities. Jacobs: Well, these cities that I have seen do have a break- down. Upon talking to some Baytown officers prior to • October pay increases, they gave me their ranges as far as their steps where their officers are paid
