Classification and Compensation Study

Compensation Group for development of a classification and compensation study.
The Manager reported the project will survey the current municipal government salary market
in comparison to the Town, review existing classification and compensation plans, and make
recommendations to ensure positions are internally equitable and externally competitive. A
request for proposals yielded four bids for the project, which is contained in the fiscal year
budget. Staff is recommending retaining Logic Compensation Group for development of the
study at a rate of $21,000.

13. Discussion regarding alignment of Railroad Street
Town Manager Staff Report dated June 4, 2021 presenting an update on the alignment of
Railroad Street.
The Town Manager reported the realignment of north and south Railroad Streets has been a
priority for decades, and was addressed during the RAMP Project but was prevented due
to an existing federal grant for parks improvements. In 2018 Council received options for the
re-alignment through development planning for the co-housing project. Council expressed
concerns with the proposed price and requested staff to obtain an appraisal of the property
and contact the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) regarding the alignment.
There were comments and discussion by the Council. It was agreed to pursue the alignment,
a long term solution being installation of a round about instead of a traffic signal. Staff was
directed to pursue alignment; look into available transportation funds to correct hazards at
the intersection; begin discussions with CDOT regarding placement of a round about; work
to place the project as a priority in State planning; and research grant funds through the Main
Street Revitalization Program.
There were comments and questions from the public with Tom McKenney and members of
the co-housing project addressing the Council.
