She noted that creating these Council - <br />supported lists are in the city's Strategic Plan. She explained that this it is preferable to use the <br />same list of cities each time when comparing compensation, including benefits, although noted <br />that the list should be reviewed and potentially updated every few years as some cities may <br />become less similar to Little Canada as change and growth occurs. She reviewed the criteria <br />used to determine the cities that should be on the comparables lists. <br />There was Council consensus to support the comparable cities list for compensation uses as <br />presented. <br />The Assistant City Administrator explained that there are also city lists created for other reasons: <br />Finance, Administration, Community Development, Public Works and Parks. <br />The Council recommended removing North Oaks from the Finance list and discussed with staff <br />why Mounds View is not included on the lists. There was Council consensus to move forward <br />with staff recommendations for the additional department lists. <br />The Assistant City Administrator stated that staff will internally discuss the questions from <br />Council and bring the lists back to Council at the June 10 Council meeting for formal approval. <br />There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. <br />oe <br />Thomas Fischer, Mayor <br />Attest: <br />RON IN, <br />., <br />
