The matrix was <br />prepared by Helping Minnesota Cities, Inc., independent from the Council and City staff to ensure impartiality, but more <br />importantly, to reflect the current market's salaries and wage rates. <br />This original matrix contained 11 pay grades. Each pay grade contained a minimum salary and six steps employees <br />could climb to get to their pay grade maximum. In 2009, due to market conditions, an additional pay grade was added. <br />The matrix has been a valuable tool for attracting and retaining city employees. Each year the Finance Department <br />compares our matrix to other metro area cities as well as to economic gauges, such as the Consumer Price Index. The <br />matrix is then periodically updated to reflect inflation and current market conditions. The following is the matrix being <br />used in 2018: <br />2018 Salary Step Structure <br />Pay <br />Grade <br />Minimum <br />Step 1 <br />Step 2 <br />Step 3 <br />Step 4 <br />Step 5 <br />Maximum <br />1 <br />$29,658 <br />$30,994 <br />$32,387 <br />$34,076 <br />$35,367 <br />$36,959 <br />$38,637 <br />2 <br />33,366 <br />34,867 <br />36,437 <br />38,076 <br />39,788 <br />41,580 <br />43,467 <br />3 <br />37,537 <br />39,225 <br />40,991 <br />42,835 <br />44,763 <br />46,777 <br />48,900 <br />4 <br />42,228 <br />44,129 <br />46,115 <br />48,191 <br />50,358 <br />52,012 <br />55,012 <br />5 <br />47,507 <br />49,644 <br />51,878 <br />54,213 <br />56,651 <br />59,201 <br />61,888 <br />6 <br />53,445 <br />55,850 <br />58,363 <br />60,990 <br />63,732 <br />66,603 <br />69,623 <br />7 <br />60,125 <br />62,830 <br />65,657 <br />68,613 <br />71,700 <br />74,927 <br />78,328 <br />8 <br />67,641 <br />70,683 <br />73,866 <br />77,188 <br />80,662 <br />84,291 <br />88,118 <br />9 <br />76,097 <br />79,520 <br />83,099 <br />86,837 <br />90,746 <br />94,830 <br />99,132 <br />10 <br />85,609 <br />89,460 <br />93,486 <br />97,694 <br />102,090 <br />106,684 <br />111,525 <br />11 <br />96,310 <br />100,642 <br />105,173 <br />109,905 <br />114,850 <br />120,020 <br />125,466 <br />12 <br />108,350 <br />113,224 <br />118,318 <br />123,643 <br />129,207 <br />135,023 <br />141,149 <br />
