the rate of pay for a fully trained, competent employee. There will be five steps between market pay and
maximum, with maximum designated as Step I 0, that range being designated for merit pay. Progression
from one step to the next higher step shall be based solely on performance as approved by the department
head or city manager and will be effective on an employee's evaluation date.
(b) Uniformed Police and Fire Pay Plan. In order to receive a step increase, each employee must meet
the time-in-service requirement and have a performance evaluation that is at least "Meets Expectations." If
