HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 08 Date: Item No. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 1, CHAPTER 5 OF THE LAKEVILLE CITY CODE CONCERNING MAYOR AND COUNCIL SALARIES Proposed Action Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Adoption of an ordinance pursuant to Minnesota Statute § 415.11 permitting the amendment of Title 1, Chapter 5 of the Lakeville City Code concerning Mayor and Council Salaries. Overview The City Council tabled this item on March 5, 2018, so residents would have the opportunity to contact councilmembers with their questions and concerns. Information on the proposed salary adjustments were posted on the City’s various media outlets as well as in the local paper. The salaries for the Mayor and City Council were last adjusted January 1, 1999. As part of the current citywide Job Classification and Compensation Study, City Council salary and benefit data was collected from comparable cities. The results of the salary and benefit survey ranks the Mayor and City Council 15th out of the 15 cities surveyed. The proposed salaries would equal the median total compensation values of our comparable cities. City Code Title 1, Chapter 5 is being amended to include a salary adjustment for the Mayor and City Council. The proposed ordinance adjusts the Mayor’s monthly salary from $833.00 to $1,347.00, and the City Council’s monthly salary from $722.00 to $950.00. The amended ordinance also provides for a biannual cost of living adjustment for the Mayor and each Council Member equal to the total percentage increase provided for non- union City employees. The cities of Edina, Eden Prairie, Plymouth and Woodbury currently have bi-annual cost of living increases set in their ordinances. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index has increased 51% from 1999 to 2018. The Mayor and City Council do not receive full-time pay as elected officials. However, current Mayor and Council salaries have not kept pace with inflation. The amended ordinance will also provide $25 for each committee and inter-agency meeting the Mayor and City Council attend. This will be set by resolution adopted annually by the City Council. Per Minnesota Statute § 415.11, the proposed salary adjustments would take effect on January 1, 2019.
