AFSCME & Administrative, Confidential, and Executive
Wage Adjustment Consideration
Prepared for the December 14, 2023
Meeting of the Library Board of Trustees
Elsworth Carman, Library Director
Three adjustments to the City of Iowa City's wages and pay plans have been proposed to City Council and
will be discussed at the 12/12/2023 Council meeting.
Traditionally, the Library Board approves changes to the AFSCME contract (including the addition of new
side letters) and to the library's operating budget before they are implemented at the library.
The three adjustments to be discussed are described in the City Council packet as follows.
FY 2024 ARPA Worker Retention Incentive
Resolution authorizing a fiscal year 2024 one-time worker retention incentive bonus to AFSCME,
Administrative, Confidential, and Executive employees.
Comment: The American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) State and Local Fiscal Recovery funds provide for public
sector capacity and workforce uses. This action utilizes not to exceed $1.2 million in federal ARPA dollars to
provide equal worker retention incentive bonuses to employees in the AFSCME and Administrative,
Confidential and Executive employee groups. The total amount of retention incentives will equal 2.75% of
budgeted wages for these employee groups in FY 2024. 2.75% represents the approximate difference
between annual pay plan adjustments between these employee groups and those covered under public
safety bargaining agreements over the last three fiscal years .
FY 2025 Administrative, Confidential and Executive Pay Plan
Resolution modifying classification/compensation plans for Administrative, Confidential, and Executive
employees for fiscal year 2025.
Comment: This action will increase the FY 2025 pay plan for the Administrative, Confidential, and Executive
employees by 1.25% over the previously approved 2.25% increase for a total FY 2025 adjustment of 3.5%.
This enhancement is intended to provide further support of employees in light of recent economic
conditions and bolster recruitment and retention efforts. The new 3.5% FY 2025 adjustment will be
equivalent to employees covered by the City's collective bargaining agreement with the Police Labor
Relations Organization of Iowa City.
FY 2025 AFSCME Pay Plan
Resolution modifying Article 21 (Pay Plan) of the agreement between the City of Iowa City and the Iowa
City Library Board of Trustees and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees,
Local #183, AFL-C/O.
Comment: This action will increase the FY 2025 pay plan for AFSCME employees by 1.25% over the
previously approved 2.25% increase for a total FY 2025 adjustment of 3.5%. This enhancement is intended
to provide further support of employees in light of recent economic conditions and bolster recruitment
and retention efforts. The new 3.5% FY 2025 adjustment will be equivalent to employees covered by the
City's collective bargaining agreement with the Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City.

City and AFSCME leadership (you will see the document includes "pending City Council and Library Board
of Trustees approval"). The letter of agreement and the associated resolution are included in this packet.

and compensation plan modification is similarly included for your review along with a copy of the relevant

Fiscal Vear 2024 One-time Retention Incentive Bonus
Pending City Council and Library Board of Trustees approval, the parties hereby agree
that a one-time retention incentive bonus of equal amount will be paid to all AFSCME
employees. The bonus will be calculated by taking 2.75% of budgeted wages for AFSCME
and Administrative, Confidential, and Executive (ACE) employees for fiscal year 2024
and dividing that by the total FTE of AFSCME and ACE employees on December 15,
2023. Part-time AFSCME and ACE employees will receive a pro-rated bonus based on
their FTE (example: a .5 FTE employee will receive½ the bonus received by a full-time
employee).
The retention incentive bonus will be paid to AFSCME and ACE employees actively
employed as of December 15, 2023 through a special payroll December 22, 2023.
It should be noted, that both parties acknowledge that this process of modification,
amendment, and/or change to the labor agreement between the City of Iowa City and the
American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (Local #183, AFL-CJO) is
not precedent-setting and that further modifications should be pursued through collective
bargaining.

Resolution no._________________
Resolution authorizing a fiscal year 2024 one-time worker retention
incentive bonus to AFSCME, Administrative, Confidential, and Executive
employees.
Whereas, The City Council has determined that unexpected economic hardships directly related
to the pandemic have negatively and disproportionately impacted American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and Administrative, Confidential, and Executive
employees (ACE) and that a one-time worker retention incentive bonus is necessary to
adequately retain staff in these employee groups; and
Whereas, Throughout the pandemic and into the post-pandemic recovery period, the City has
experienced an increase in turnover rates and shrinking applicant pools for many critical
positions; and
Whereas, the U.S. Department of Treasury allocated the City funds through the State and Local
Fiscal Recovery Fund (“SLFRF”) as part of the American Rescue Plan Act (aka, ARPA) to meet
local needs; and
Whereas, expenses to support public sector capacity and workforce are an enumerated use of
SLFRF funds under 31 CFR 35.6(b)(3)(ii)(E); and
Whereas, the ARPA SLFRF Final Rule allows for worker retention incentives that are designed
to persuade employees to remain with the employer and that incentives of less than ten percent
of the rate of base pay for employee groups are presumed to be reasonably proportional to the
need to retain employees; and
Whereas, the City of Iowa City and American Federation of State County and Municipal
Employees (AFSCME) have entered into a Letter of Agreement establishing a one-time worker
retention incentive bonus of equal amount for AFSCME employees, which will also be extended
to Administrative, Confidential, and Executive (ACE) employees; and
Whereas, the City desires to allocate an amount not to exceed $1,200,000 of SLFRF funds to
provide an equivalent bonus to AFSCME and ACE employees; and
Whereas, the total one-time worker retention incentive bonus amount paid will be based on
2.75% of fiscal year 2024 budgeted wages for AFSCME and ACE employees; and
Whereas, the total one-time worker retention incentive bonus amount will be divided by the full-
time equivalent number AFSCME and ACE employees actively employed on December 15,
2023 and paid out on a December 22, 2023 payroll; and
Whereas, the one-time worker retention incentive bonus will be pro-rated for part time
employees based on their budgeted full-time equivalent (FTE) status.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa that a one-time
worker retention incentive bonus of equal amount, pro-rated for part-time employees, be paid
utilizing American Rescue Plan Act State and Local Recovery Funds to AFSCME,
Administrative, Confidential, and Executive employees based on 2.75% of fiscal year 2024
wages for all AFSCME and ACE employees.

Whereas, Resolution 21-112 approved by City Council on May 4, 2021, established a
classification and compensation plan for Administrative, Confidential, and Executive employees
for fiscal year 2025; and
Whereas, the City Council has determined that unexpected economic hardships stemming from
the pandemic have negatively impacted Administrative, Confidential, and Executive employees

plan is necessary to adequately recruit and retain staff.

Resolution no._________________
Resolution modifying Article 21 (Pay Plan) of the agreement between the
City of Iowa City and the Iowa City Library Board of Trustees and the
American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Local
#183, AFL-CIO.
Whereas, Resolution 21-111 approved by City Council on May 4, 2021, approved a collective
bargaining agreement (hereinafter the “Agreement”) between the City of Iowa City, the Iowa City
Library Board of Trustees, and the American Federation of State County and Municipal
Employees Local #183, AFL-CIO, (hereinafter “the Union”) to be effective July 1, 2021 through
June 30, 2026; and
Whereas, Article 21, Section 1 of the Agreement established an adjustment to the AFSCME pay
plan for fiscal year 2025; and
Whereas, the City Council has determined that unexpected economic hardships stemming from
the pandemic have negatively impacted American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees and that a 1.25% additional adjustment in the fiscal year 2025 classification and
compensation plan is necessary to adequately recruit and retain staff; and
Whereas, the City of Iowa City and the Union have entered into a Letter of Agreement modifying
Article 21 of the Agreement to increase the fiscal year 2025 pay plan adjustment to 3.5%
pending City Council approval.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa that:
Article 21 of the Agreement approved by Resolution 21-111 be modified to reflect a 3.5% pay
plan adjustment for fiscal year 2025 and that the fiscal year 2025 pay plan (Appendix C-4) be
replaced as attached.
Passed and approved this _________ day of _____________________, 20_____.
