Item No: 5 Meeting Date: May 3, 2010 Type of Business: Work Session Administrator Review : ____ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Desaree Crane, Assistant City Clerk - Administrator Item Title/Subject: Review Section 3.01 of the Mounds View Personnel Manual Introduction: Section 3.01 of the Personnel Policy governs salary compensation. The objective of this policy was to: 1. To develop and maintain a Comprehensive Policy which will attract and retain competent personnel. 2. To establish and maintain a compensation schedule consistent with the Pay Equity Act of 1984 and its subsequent amendments. 3. To provide a climate in which employees will be encouraged to develop their abilities and effectiveness in performing assigned duties. 4. To recognize the quality of job performance demonstrated by each employee. 5. To establish and maintain compensation levels which are competitive with those provided by comparable jurisdictions. 6. To maintain an overall compensation policy with sufficient flexibility to meet changing economic and competitive conditions. On December 22, 2008, the Mounds View City Council approved the Salary Compensation Study, which was completed by Springsted. This approval implemented a 2% wage adjustment for job classifications below the market, effective January 1, 2009. The Salary Compensation Study completed by Springsted used comparable cities to Mounds View to define the market for each position. The City’s current Personnel Policy uses “Stanton” as a means of defining the market. Since the Stanton Survey is no longer being published, the current policy is outdated. Staff would like to discuss some options to the City Council on how they would like Staff to proceed in developing a new compensation policy.
