The law <br /> required that all units of government establish equitable compensation <br /> relationships. According to the law that meant that a "primary <br /> consideration in negotiating, establishing, recommending, and approving <br /> total compensation is comparable work value in relationship to the <br /> employee positions within the political subdivision. " <br /> Subsequent to the enactment of the law, Mounds View, together with <br /> approximately 105 other cities, entered into an agreement with Control <br /> Data to develop a system of determining equitable compensation <br /> relationships among position classes . The hierarchy of position values (or <br /> points) was a result of the 1985 study. <br /> Based on three things: position values, compensation maximums and <br /> regression analysis, the first pay equity adjustments were made to Mounds <br /> View employees in 1987 . <br /> 1990 PAY EQUITY AMENDMENT <br /> The Pay Equity Act was amended by the Legislature in 1990. The amendment <br /> significantly changed the manner and the degree to which cities had <br /> previously and would, in the future, implement pay equity. The law clearly <br /> def-i-ned-what-had-heretefor-e-been-ague-def3ni-ti-On of equitable <br /> compensation relationships. The amendment clearly stated that the <br /> compensation pattern of female-dominated classes cannot be consistently -- <br /> below the compensation pattern of male-dominated classes. <br /> Perhaps the most significant part of the legislation was the creation of a <br /> "compliance deadline" of December 31, 1991. Cities had to be in compliance <br /> with the new definition of the law by that date or face financial <br /> penalties as high as a 5% loss of their Local Government Aid. <br /> a- -->-7-',..4m... . 4,2444 <br /> S. 11 = tha Ord no, Ci y Administkator <br />' RECOMMENDATION; <br /> Motion to Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution No. 5152 Approving <br /> 1991/1992 Pay Equity Adjustments <br />
