In the event that the District determines that the District's top step is under 9.55% of the median of similar classifications maintained by similar public entities, the District will present to the Board of Directors a recommendation to adjust those classifications by up to two (2) ranges with a step placement which limits the actual increase to 5% effective July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008, respectively.

The recommended decision shall set forth which charges, if any, the hearing officer feels are sustained and the reasons therefore.
