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 5th 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, 2022. The salary of the Mayor is currently $10,650 and the salary of each Councilmember is $8,952. Per City Code Chapter 203, the Council will consider whether a salary adjustment is warranted every two years. Staff is recommending a 6.1% increase in the salary of the Mayor and Councilmembers. The salary of the Mayor would increase to $11,298 and the salary of each Councilmember would increase to $9,497. This increase is consistent with the total wage adjustment for City employees from 2022-2023. The proposed ordinance would become effective January 1, 2024, and would continue to be reviewed every two years per City Code. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the 2nd Reading of Ordinance No. 03-23, Adjusting the Salaries of the Mayor and Councilmembers. ATTACHMENTS Ordinance No. 03-23
