September 25, 1986
<br />TO: MAYOR & COUNCIL
<br />FROM: Bev Scalze
<br />Subject: Recreation Directors' 1987 salaries
<br />As you may recall from budget time a year ago, the council discussed
<br />a raise in salaries for recreation directors. At that time, the
<br />director and two assistants were given a 5% raise, the lowest increase
<br />in our city salaries for 1986. They have not lobbied for salary
<br />increases in the past as other city employees have done.
<br />Since the council in its budget preparation had used the "Twin Cities
<br />Metropolitan Area Salary Survey" to determine salaries for our city
<br />employees, I am proposing that we also use this survey as a guideline
<br />for our recreation directors as well.
<br />For your use I have attached the following copies:
<br />- a copy of the pages of the salary survey which apply,
<br />- a copy of the minutes of our budget meeting of September 11, 1985,
<br />- a copy of a description of 1982 programs of Arden Hills and Prior
<br />Lake.. These are taken from a report I did for the city and are the
<br />only two cities I surveyed which appear in the present salary
<br />survey guide.
<br />The cities I compared in the salary guide were:
<br />population full -time employees and salaries
<br />Shakopee 10,970
<br />Prior Lake 9,200
<br />Arden Hills 9,070
<br />Chanhassen 7,380
<br />East Bethel 7,380
<br />Spring Lake Pk 6,780
<br />Rosemount 6,390

<br />Director, 29.6 29,600
<br />Director, 26.5 26,500
<br />Our system, as you know, is headed by a director and two assistants,
<br />all part -time, salaried employees. They, together, work evenings and
<br />weekends during the times when parents, children and their activities
<br />are occuring. These three directors' total salary for 1986 was $15,087
<br />with no hospitalisation, life insurance, vacation or holiday pay.
<br />In 1982, the total directors' salary was $11,671.
