515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />September 4, 1996 <br />TO: Mayor Fahey and Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel R. Hanson, City Administrator <br />RE: Wage Increase for Merri Nadeau <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />The Public Works Director and I are recommending a salary <br />increase for Merri Nadeau effective August 28th whereby her <br />hourly rate of pay would increase from $10.42 to $12.18. The <br />basis for our recommendation is as follows: <br />*Merri has worked for us for a number of years and her <br />performance has been excellent. (She has been part -time for <br />over six years.) <br />*The duration of her "full- time" status, Merri was being paid <br />on the one -year level of our salary scale. Based on her <br />experience, the three -year level is warranted. <br />*Our Public Works staff salary scale needs adjustment to <br />make it more competitive with other cities. With this <br />adjustment Merri's salary will be commensurate with her <br />duties, plus any scale adjustment addressed in the 1997 <br />Budget. <br />*Being one short in the Public Works Department already, we <br />cannot afford to lose another employee going into the <br />snowplowing season. Merri's proficiency would be difficult <br />to replace if she were to leave us for another opportunity. <br />We would also propose that she go to the 4 -year step effective <br />January 1, 1997. <br />Page 17 <br />
