WS — Item 5 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item 5 <br />Date: 1 October 2007 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Dan Tesch, Director of Administration <br />Re: City Council Compensation <br />Background <br />Periodically, the City Council is required to review its' own compensation. Traditionally, <br />we have approved three -year increases. Last year a resolution was passed that applied <br />only to 2007. That resolution called for a 3% reduction in mayor and council <br />compensation. If this resolution is to be effective in 2008, action will be to be taken prior <br />to the November election. <br />Attached is information derived from the League of Minnesota Cities Salary Survey. The <br />market we used were metro cities between 15,000 and 30,000. Prior to 2007, <br />compensation for the council had consistently increased at a rate of 3% - the same rate at <br />the annual adjustment for city employees. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />The council needs to take action prior to the November election. <br />The council needs to determine the amount of the increase. <br />Attachment(s) <br />1.
