CONSENT
ITEM #: 9
MOTION
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
REVIEWED BY: Chief Greg Malmquist, Fire Chief
Cathy Bendel, Finance Director
AGENDA ITEM: 2016 Paid On Call Firefighter Pay Increases
BACKGROUND:
Typically, in the past the paid on call firefighters have received the same base percentage increase as
other City employees. It was an oversight that staff failed to include them in the previous pay increases
presented to Council.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should the proposed wage increases be approved for the City of Lake Elmo paid on call firefighters?
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Attached is an updated pay rate sheet for our paid on call firefighters. These rates represent a 5.5%
increase over current rates. Firefighters are paid monthly so staff is proposing the attached pay rates go
into effect for July.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The 2016 budget contains $20,000 for wage adjustments. $6,709.63 was allocated during the four
previous wage adjustments. This increase will have an impact of about $2,500 for the rest of 2016
assuming an average number of calls.
OPTIONS:
1) Approve the pay adjustments as presented
2) Approve different pay adjustments
3) Do not approve any pay adjustments
RECOMMENDATION:
If removed from the consent agenda:
Motion to approve the 2016 paid on call firefighter pay adjustments as presented.
