PAY PLAN ADMINISTRATION
(a) Non-uniformed Pay Plan. The pay plan presented herein for
positions not covered in uniformed step plan defines the range
of pay for each position in the City. Individual rates of pay
will be determined by employee performance. The mid-point of
each range is considered the rate of pay for a fully competent
employee. Above mid-point pay is reserved for merit based on
performance. Merit employees will receive an increase on
October 1 based on their most recent performance appraisal.
Employees with an above average performance appraisal will
receive a 3% of mid-point increase. Employees with an
outstanding performance appraisal will receive a 5% of mid-
point increase. No employee shall receive more than one pay
increase for the same performance evaluation.
(b) Uniformed Step Plan. In order to receive a step increase,
each employee must meet the time-in-service requirement and
have a performance appraisal that is at least average. If an
employee does not meet the performance appraisal requirement,
the supervisor may set a time for re-evaluation and reconsi-
deration of the step increase if improved performance is
recognized.
ASSIGNMENT PAY. Since October 1, 1987, Paramedic-Captain,
Paramedic, and EMT positions are no longer specified as rank
but are designated as assignment and receive assignment pay as
follows:
Paramedic Captain .............. $150.00 per month
Paramedic ....................... $100.00 per month
EMT ............................. $ 25.00 per month
The assignment pay will be in addition to the pay allocated
for the firefighter's rank at time of assignment. If, for
example, a Hoseman receives training and is assigned as a
paramedic, his/her pay would be that of a Hoseman plus $100.00
a month assignment pay. If a Driver/Engineer is assigned to
be a Paramedic Captain, he/she will receive the Driver/
Engineer pay and $150.00 a month assignment pay. Subsequently,
if a Paramedic Captain decides, for some reason, he/she wishes
to discontinue the assignment he/she will then revert back to
previous rank and the assignment pay will be discontinued.
The same is true if the reassignment is made with cause and/or
in the best interest of the department.
However, persons holding the rank of Paramedic Captain or
Paramedic prior to October 1, 1987 and are removed from their
assignment, will be allowed to test for the Driver/Engineer
rank; if he/she does not pass the test, he/she will be
reclassified to the rank held previous to assignment as a
Paramedic or Paramedic Captain.
PROBATIONARY PERIOD. The probationary period is one year
under normal circumstances for uniformed personnel and six
months for non-uniformed personnel. Nothing herein prevents
the extension of a probationary period or prevents any
department head or supervisor from delaying pay increases or
not giving pay increases for just and compelling reasons.
EMERGENCY SERVICE PLAN. Because of emergency conditions in
the utility area, the utility supervisor will designate one
three-person crew which is available for call for a week at a
time (7 days), twenty-four (24) hours per day. For such
availability, each member of such crew will receive up to
thirty-eight dollars and fifty cents ($38.50). The amount of
such bonus to be determined at the discretion of the Director
of Public Works.
Only the designated crew will receive bonus payments even
though, on occasion, more than one crew may be called.
Each person on standby will be notified by "beeper" that an
emergency exists and will be required to call a designated
number or individual for directions.
DIFFERENTIAL INCENTIVE PAY
Police Officers and Lieutenants working evening shift will
receive an additional incentive pay of twenty five dollars
($25.00) per month. Police Officers and Lieutenants working
deep night shift will receive an additional incentive pay of
fifty dollars ($50.00) per month. Police Officers and
Lieutenants must maintain an average performance evaluation to
qualify for and maintain the Differential Incentive Pay.
LONGEVITY. Ail police and fire personnel shall receive the
State of Texas mandated payment of four dollars ($4.00) per
month for each year of service up to a maximum of twenty-five
(25) years. All other employees of the City shall receive
longevity pay at the same rate as police and fire personnel.
For the purpose of this section, longevity payments begin at
the start of each month after the anniversary date, unless
such anniversary date is on the first day of the month.

incentive pay for education in fire protection technology.

PAY PLAN ADMINISTRATION
(a) Non-uniformed Pay Plan. The pay plan presented herein for
positions not covered in uniformed step plan defines the range
of pay for each position in the City. Individual rates of pay
will be determined by employee performance. The mid-point of
each range is considered the rate of pay for a fully competent
employee. Above mid-point pay is reserved for merit based on
performance. Merit employees will receive an increase on
October 1 based on their most recent performance appraisal.
Employees with an above average performance appraisal will
receive a 3% of mid-point increase. Employees with an
outstanding performance appraisal will receive a 5% of mid-
point increase. No employee shall receive more than one pay
increase for the same performance evaluation.
(b) Uniformed Step Plan. In order to receive a step increase,
each employee must meet the time-in-service requirement and
have a performance appraisal that is at least average. If an
employee does not meet the performance appraisal requirement,
the supervisor may set a time for re-evaluation and reconsi-
deration of the step increase if improved performance is
recognized.
ASSIGNMENT PAY. Effective October 1, 1987, Paramedic-Captain,
Paramedic, and EMT positions in the Fire Department are no
longer specified as rank but are designated as assignment and
receive assignment pay as follows:
Paramedic Captain .............. $150.00 per month
Paramedic ....................... $100.00 per month
EMT ............................. $ 25.00 per month
The assignment pay will be in addition to the pay allocated
for the firefighter's rank at time of assignment. If, for
example, a Hoseman receives training and is assigned as a
paramedic, his/her pay would be that of a Hoseman plus $100.00
a month assignment pay. If a Driver/Engineer is assigned to
be a Paramedic Captain, he/she will receive the Driver/
Engineer pay and $150.00 a month assignment pay. Subsequently,
if a Paramedic Captain decides, for some reason, he/she wishes
to discontinue the assignment he/she will then revert back to
previous rank and the assignment pay will be discontinued.
The same is true if the reassignment is made with cause and/or
in the best interest of the department.
However, persons holding the rank of Paramedic Captain or
Paramedic prior to October 1, 1987 and are removed from their
assignment, will be allowed to test for the Driver/Engineer
rank; if he/she does not pass the test, he/she will be
reclassified to the rank held previous to assignment as a
Paramedic or Paramedic Captain.
Effective October 1, 1989, Police Officers assigned as
Investigators will no longer receive a special assignment pay
of $50.00 per month added to base pay. However, those Police
Officers assigned as investigators prior to October 1, 1989
shall continue to receive the assignment pay until such time
they are assigned elsewhere.
PROBATIONARY PERIOD. The probationary period is one year
under normal circumstances for uniformed personnel and six
months for non-uniformed personnel. Nothing herein prevents
the extension of a probationary period or prevents any
department head or supervisor from delaying pay increases or
not giving pay increases for just and compelling reasons.
EMERGENCY SERVICE PLAN. Because of emergency conditions in
the utility area, the utility supervisor will designate one
three-person crew which is available for call for a week at a
time (7 days), twenty-four (24) hours per day. For such
availability, each member of such crew will receive up to
thirty-five dollars ($35.00)· The amount of such bonus to be
determined at the discretion of the Director of Public Works.
Only the designated crew will receive bonus payments even
though, on occasion, more than one crew may be called. Each
person on standby will be notified by "beeper" that an
emergency exists and will be required to call a designated
number or individual for directions.
DIFFERENTIAL INCENTIVE PAY
Police Officers and Lieutenants working evening shift will
receive an additional incentive pay of twenty five dollars
($25.00) per month. Police Officers and Lieutenants working
deep night shift will receive an additional incentive pay of
fifty dollars ($50.00) per month. Police Officers and
Lieutenants must maintain an average performance evaluation to
qualify for and maintain the Differential Incentive Pay.

(25) years. All other employees of the City shall receive

PAY PLAN ADMINISTRATION
(a) Non-uniformed Pay Plan. The pay plan presented herein for
positions not covered in uniformed step plan defines the range
of pay for each position in the City. Individual rates of pay
will be determined by employee performance. The mid-point of
each range is considered the rate of pay for a fully competent
employee. Above mid-point pay is reserved for merit based on
performance. Merit employees will receive an increase on
October 1 based on their most recent performance appraisal.
Employees with an above average performance appraisal will
receive a 3% of mid-point increase. Employees with an
outstanding performance appraisal will receive a 5% of mid-
point increase. No employee shall receive more than one pay
increase for the same performance evaluation.
(b) Uniformed Step Plan. In order to receive a step increase,
each employee must meet the time-in-service requirement and
have a performance appraisal that is at least average. If an
employee does not meet the performance appraisal requirement,
the supervisor may set a time for re-evaluation and reconsi-
deration of the step increase if improved performance is
recognized.
ASSIGNMENT PAY. Effective October 1, 1987, Paramedic-Captain,
Paramedic, and EMT positions in the Fire Department are no
longer specified as rank but are designated as assignment and
receive assignment pay as follows:
Paramedic Captain .............. $200.00 per month
Paramedic ....................... $100.00 per month
EMT ............................. $ 25.00 per month
The assignment pay will be in addition to the pay allocated
for the firefighter's rank at time of assignment. If, for
example, a Hoseman receives training and is assigned as a
paramedic, his/her pay would be that of a Hoseman plus $100.00
a month assignment pay. If a Driver/Engineer is assigned to
be a Paramedic Captain, he/she will receive the Driver/
Engineer pay and $200.00 a month assignment pay. Subsequently,
if a Paramedic Captain decides, for some reason, he/she wishes
to discontinue the assignment he/she will then revert back to
previous rank and the assignment pay will be discontinued.
The same is true if the reassignment is made with cause and/or
in the best interest of the department.
However, persons holding the rank of Paramedic Captain or
Paramedic prior to October 1, 1987 and are removed from their
assignment, will be allowed to test for the Driver/Engineer
rank; if he/she does not pass the test, he/she will be
reclassified to the rank held previous to assignment as a
Paramedic or Paramedic Captain.
Effective October 1, 1989, Police Officers assigned as
Investigators will no longer receive a special assignment pay
of $50.00 per month added to base pay. However, those Police
Officers assigned as investigators prior to October 1, 1989
shall continue to receive the assignment pay until such time
they are assigned elsewhere.
WORK EXPERIENCE PERIOD. The work experience period is one
year under normal circumstances for uniformed personnel and
six months for non-uniformed personnel. Nothing herein
prevents the extension of a work experience period or prevents
any department head or supervisor from delaying pay increases
or not giving pay increases for just and compelling reasons.
EMERGENCY SERVICE PLAN. Because of emergency conditions in
the utility area, the utility supervisor will designate one
three-person crew which is available for call for a week at a
time (7 days), twenty-four (24) hours per day. For such
availability, each member of such crew will receive up to
thirty-five dollars ($35.00). The amount of such bonus to be
determined at the discretion of the Director of Public Works.
Only the designated crew will receive bonus payments even
though, on occasion, more than one crew may be called. Each
person on standby will be notified by "beeper" that an
emergency exists and will be required to call a designated
number or individual for directions.
DIFFERENTIAL INCENTIVE PAY
Police Officers and Lieutenants working evening shift will
receive an additional incentive pay of twenty five dollars
($25.00) per month. Police Officers and Lieutenants working
deep night shift will receive an additional incentive pay of
fifty dollars ($50.00) per month. Police Officers and
Lieutenants must maintain an average performance evaluation to
qualify for and maintain the Differential Incentive Pay.
LONGEVITY. Ail police and fire personnel shall receive the
State of Texas mandated payment of four dollars ($4.00) per
month for each year of service up to a maximum of twenty-five
(25) years. All other employees of the City shall receive
longevity pay at the same rate as police and fire personnel.
