Chapter 2 Form of Government, Section 2.07 Salaries. Secretary B. Amundsen reviewed the research about salary variances and thanked E. James and City Administrator N. Zikmund for the information they gathered. He also presented a document of the charter language for multiple class three cities, which generally state that the council sets by ordinance the salary of mayor and council members in the year of elections for the succeeding year, which is consistent with Mounds View's charter language. The Vice-Chair offered to gather the actual city revenue for similar size cities as another data point for consideration. Consensus was to maintain current charter to be policy language and not have the Commission involved in an administrative issue, and it is okay for the Council to consider their salary and increasing it appropriately. MOTION made, by G. Quick, and seconded, by K. Mills, to table until August any further discussion of the issue. Discussion occurred. MOTION adopted 7-0. 8.New Business a. Discussion of Commission member emails on city website. Vice-Chair R. Scholl introduced the item as a concern for phishing schemes. City Administrator N.
