He feels a more appropriate method would be to <br /> choose cities with a comparable tax capacity. Therefore,he would like to direct staff to go back to the April <br /> 28th proposed listing that he provided and find cities which are both close in population to Mounds View and <br /> who have a comparable tax capacity. Some of the cities on the list have triple the tax capacity of Mounds <br /> View. <br /> Mr.Whiting noted that the consultant had suggested that the city not look at outstate cities for this study. <br /> A discussion followed. Mayor McCarty stated his concern would be that outstate municipalities would have <br /> an entire different economic situation. He,however,felt that the outstate areas could be looked at and <br /> discussed in greater detail at the work session. <br /> Mayor McCarty noted that he feels it would also be appropriate to consider the requirements of education and <br /> experience in determining the pay scale for the various positions. He asked if this could be added to the <br /> criteria. <br /> Council member Quick stated he felt this would be a waste of staff time to require them to go back and look for <br /> other comparable cities. Mr.Whiting felt the information could be obtained quite easily. <br /> MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/McCarty to amend the Compensation Study to incorporate the original cities he <br /> proposed on April 28, 1997. <br /> VOTE: 2 ayes 2 nays(Quick/Koopmeiners) Motion Fails <br /> MOTION by McCarty to reconsider.
