WS — Item #7 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 7 <br />Date: February 2, 2015 <br />To: City Council <br />From: Julie Bartell, City Clerk <br />Re: Election Judge Salary <br />Background <br />Every year the city administers at least one election and employs election judges to staff <br />the seven election precincts. These judges also attend annual paid training sessions prior <br />to their service. <br />The current salary for the position is $9.00/hour to serve as an Election Judge and <br />$9.50/hour to serve as a Head Election Judge. This salary level has been in place since <br />2000. <br />Considerations for increasing the salary are: <br />Current rates are on the lower end of what other Anoka County cities are paying; <br />The Minnesota state minimum wage is scheduled to increase to $9.50 per hour, <br />effective August 1, 2016, for large employers; <br />Election judge service is an important role and should be recognized with <br />adequate salary. <br />Requested Council Direction <br />Staff is recommending that the salary rate for election judges be increased to $10.00/hour <br />for Election Judge and $11.00/hour for Head Election Judge. <br />Attachments <br />Anoka County Election Judge Salary Comparison <br />
