OF MISTAKES IN ADMINISTERING THE COMPENSATION SYSTEM

in the need for adjustments to an individual's rate of pay; and,

compensation in order to correct a mistake in administration of the approved compensation system.";

WHEREAS, this change would authorize the City Manager to correct past actions that were
