Item 22 Passedunofficial
In plain language — from the agenda backup
This item amends three contracts with consulting firms Arthur J. Gallagher, PFM Group, and Segal Waters to keep providing services for the City's employee compensation programs — things like market reviews, organizational reviews, and benchmarking how Austin pays its workers. The consultants help Human Resources figure out whether city pay keeps pace with the market. The amendment raises the total by $1,750,000 for a revised amount not to exceed $3,078,000, with $650,000 available now in the Human Resources operating budget and the rest depending on future budgets.
