The Danville city council Tuesday heard a report about the salary compensation provided by HUB International.  The study examined whether the city salaries were at market levels and how to set up a salary review procedure. City rates were also compared to 11 other communities. The study examined the salary of 105 city jobs.  It found that 41 percent of the jobs were under the proposed pay range minimum. Putting those people up to the proposed levels would cost more than 600 thousand dollars.

Pay levels were also discussed during the review for next fiscal year’s budget. A budget of about 78 million dollars is being proposed.   

Comptroller Ashlyn Massey said the draft budget includes salary increases suggested by the compensation study.

Several council members felt that the compensation study should have been reviewed further and approved by aldermen before it became part of the budget. The budget and tax levy will be reviewed more this month.  The city’s tax levy is the same as last year.
