INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to consider the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 17-18, adjusting
the salaries of the mayor and councilmembers.
BACKGROUND
During the September 4th work session, staff recommended the City Council adopt an
ordinance that would adjust Council salaries. A recent salary survey of comparable cities
showed that the Lino Lakes City Council was well below the average given that the mayor and
councilmembers last received a raise in 2010.
Staff presented an updated survey at the October 1 ' work session that included compensation
for work sessions and special meetings. When the Council's current meeting stipend is
included in the survey, the compensation gap is still less than other cities.
To be more consistent with what other cities are doing, the Council determined that the $40
meeting stipend should be eliminated. Instead, the Council proposed an annual salary of
$10,112 for the mayor and $8,500 for councilmembers. This is consistent with total wage
adjustments for City employees from 2011-2019.
The proposed ordinance would become effective January 1, 2020, and would be reviewed
every two years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 17-18, adjusting the
salaries of the mayor and councilmembers.
