Introduction 3 <br />Springsted <br />The initial criteria for the selection of cities was based on their population. <br />All Metropolitan cities between 15,000 and 30,000 were included in the <br />initial review of proposed survey participants. Information regarding <br />number of employees, organizational structure, budget information, total <br />market value, tax capacity, local government aid, and levy information was <br />also reviewed. The cities cluster designations from the League of <br />Minnesota Cities (LMC) was also included as part of the review process. <br />The criteria utilized by the LMC to designate cities included population, <br />growth, median household income, and per capita commercial/industrial <br />property market value. The initial selection of cities included twenty -five <br />cities. Ten cities were eliminated as they were fully developed cities, with <br />little or no growth or re- development activities. Information for both groups <br />of cities is included in Appendix I. <br />We were able to gather information from the League of Minnesota Cities <br />survey for all cities except the City of Oakdale, providing an excellent <br />response rate of fourteen of the fifteen cities. <br />Information on only those positions which were considered comparable to <br />City of Lino Lakes positions was included in the survey information. Not <br />all positions are included in the LMC survey, therefore survey data was not <br />available for all City positions. <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota. Human Resource Audit <br />
