CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA ITEM 3B
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Sarah Cotton, City Administrator
MEETING DA 1'E: June 28. 2021
TOPIC: 2"d Reading of Ordinance No. 06-21,Adjusting Council Salaries
VO 1'E REQUIRED: 3/5
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being asked to consider the 2"d Reading of Ordinance No. 06-21, adjusting
the salaries of the Mayor and Councilmembers.
BACKGROUND
Pursuant to M.S. § 415.11, the compensation of the Mayor and Councilmembers shall be set by
ordinance and the change in salary shall take effect after the next succeeding municipal
election.
During the June 7th work session, staff recommended the City Council adopt an ordinance that
would increase council salaries. The Mayor and Councilmembers last received a raise on
January 1, 2020. The salary of the Mayor is currently $10,112 and the salary of each
Councilmember is $8,500.
Per City Code Chapter 203, the Council will consider whether a salary adjustment is warranted
every two years.
Staff is recommending a 5.3% increase in the salary of the Mayor and Councilmembers. The
salary of the Mayor would increase to $10,650 and the salary of each Councilmember would
increase to $8,952. This increase is consistent with the total wage adjustment for City
employees from 2020-2021.
The proposed ordinance would become effective January 1, 2022, and would continue to be
reviewed every two years per City Code.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 06-21, increasing the
salaries of the mayor and councilmembers.
