Mounds View City Council July 10, 2006 <br />Regular Meeting Page 18 <br />The vast majority of the positions, 90%, are at or slightly above market rate. He stated <br />that Mounds View is very positive as far as the market is concerned and his <br />recommendations will have very few monetary effects. <br />Mr. Laumeyer stated the firm is asking for acceptance of the report. He stated after approval, the <br />firm would return to the Personnel Committee with specific recommendations and will then <br />suggest some pay equity. <br />Mayor Marty asked about the sources of external data and why Forest Lake was removed. Mr. <br />Lauymeyer stated that Forest Lake was included in error and the version handed out at the <br />meeting without Forest Lake is correct. <br />Councilmember Thomas asked about the assumption of whether or not the pay system is <br />appropriate. She stated she does not see it addressed in any of the material. Councilmember <br />Flaherty stated that pay was discussed and it was not included in the report. Councilmember <br />Thomas stated she would like the information. <br />Mr. Laumeyer noted that it was decided to defer such information to the Personnel Committee. <br />Councilmember Stigney asked about the title changes and the criteria on which they are based. <br />Mr. Laumeyer stated that one was because one employee needs a re-classification due to duties. <br />He stated that in the workforce, classifications are constantly updated. <br />Councilmember Stigney asked "who" is using such terms and where the new words come from. <br />Mr. Laumeyer said the words come from research and surveys done with other cities. He <br />suggested the titles changes would be more comparable to other positions with the same duties. <br />Councilmember Stigney asked about the Community Development Director and stated he did not <br />see any changes. Mr. Laumeyer replied that it was a typo. <br />Councilmember Stigney asked for documentation supporting the recommendations. Mr. <br />Laumeyer stated they would be available at the Personnel Committee meeting. <br />Councilmember Stigney stated he would like to make a motion indicating receipt, not <br />acceptance, of the report with referral to the HR Committee.

He <br />stated he would like to keep the classification of "Assistant To the City Clerk/City <br />Administrator" title and that some of the duties should be taken on by Administrator Ulrich <br />rather than by the "Assistant To." <br />
