REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION (RCA)
City of Falcon Heights, Minnesota __________________________
Item City Commission Stipend Discussion
Description During the 2025 budget process, the City Council proposed including a stipend
for commissioners. It was included in the final budget at $21,000 annually.
As we proceed in this plan, staff is seeking direction on the following questions:
•If a stipend is recommended, how much should it be and what
commissions should be included (i.e. ad-hoc commissions or task forces
included?
•Should the pay be automatic, or only awarded based on attendance?
•Should officers receive a stipend at the same amount, or more to account
for the additional work?
With this direction, staff can draft a proposed ordinance to bring to the next
workshop meeting for future recommendation. Staff have been researching the
topic with the League of Minnesota Cities HR staff, as well as outreach to other
statutory cities that compensate commissioners. Included in the packet are
ordinances from the cities of Hopkins and Oakdale, who both recently moved
towards compensating their commissions.
Budget Impact TBD
