ADMINISTRATORS COMMENTS I 1 r I ---�_ �`C,� � j ' 'City Administrator Date �****�******************�*********************** Cottage Grove � Pride and QrOSperity Meet To: Mayor and City Council From: Ryan R. Schroeder, City Administrator Date: October 6, 2014 Subject: City Council Stipends Adoption of stipends (wages) for City Council's in the state of Minnesota is governed by Minnesota Statutes 415.11. Council may independently adopt increases in stipends but such increases cannot take effect until after the next municipal election seats the following years Council. Staff recently compared stipends within our peer communities and has found that stipends for Cottage Grove Council are currently below that of the average peer community as follows: Cottage Grove Mayor Stipend: $9,216 Average Stipend of Peer Communities: $10,622 Cottage Grove as percent of Mean: 86.8% Cottage Grove Council Stipends: $6,780 Average Stipends of Peer Communities: $7,886 Cottage Grove as percent of Mean: 85.98% Council stipends were most recently increased on September 6, 2006. These stipends took effect on January 1, 2007 (subsequent to an election). At that time staff had recommended, and Council adopted stipends that were increased to 97% of the market mean up from 85.98% for Mayor and 82.16% for Council members prior to the increase. Prior to 2006 the most recent prior increase was in 1995. Staff believes that an increase at this time (that would take effect in 2015) is warranted. To effect an increase Council would need to adopt an ordinance amendment at this meeting. Failure to do so would mean that any future increase could not take effect until 2017. Staff has received the suggestion that there might be some value in comprising a committee to evaluate if an increase is warranted and if so, by what amount. One potential committee structure option would be to comprise a committee of Commission Chairs. Options: 1. Approve an increase in stipends to the market mean or such other target as Council may deem appropriate 2. Determine not to pursue anything further on the topic at this time 3. Refer the item to a committee as noted above Council Action: Based on discussion Andover Apple Valley Blaine Brooklyn Center Burnsville Champlin Columbia Heights Crysta I Eagan Eden Prairie Farmington Forest Lake Hastings Lakeville Lino Lakes Maple Grove Maplewood Minnetonka New Brighton New Hope Ramsey Roseville Savage Shakopee South St. Paul St. Louis Park Stiliwater West St. Paul Woodbury 31,298 49,376 58,020 29,810 61,042 23,934 18,361 22,014 65,933 62,536 18,959 17,496 22,491 55,772 20,305 62,660 37,755 51,451 22,321 20,718 23,272 34,178 27,567 34,691 20,180 46,293 18,235 18,947 59,338 9,500.00 $1.00 per EDA 11,220.00 13,367.00 11,486.00 12,000.00 9,550.00 13,800.00 10,619.84 13,624.00 13,500.00 8,040.00 6,500.00 8,400.00 9,996.00 $25 per HRA meeting 6,272.00 $40 14,500.00 12,855.00 12,000.00 8,600.00 11,801.00 $25 per EDA 1/1/15 8,000.00 9,300.00 8,000.00 15,000.00 10,200.00 11,796.00 EDA - $4,385/yr 9,000.00 8,100.00 11,004.00 10,621.75 Average 86.77% CG Compared to Avera 10,303.10 97% of Average 10% % Raise to Reach 97% Cottage Grove 34,502 9,216.00 7,500.00 $1.00 per EDA 8,028.00 10,000.00 9,070.00 8,400.00 6,610.00 7,800.00 8,169J2 10,005.00 10,740.00 7,020.00 5,500.00 6,000.00 8,664.00 $25 per HRA meeting 5,018.00 12,500.00 11,314.00 9,000.00 7,000.00 8,619.00 $25 per EDA meeting 1/1/15 6,000.00 7,020.00 6,000.00 7,500.00 6,600.00 6,807.00 7,200.00 6,500.00 8,100.00 7,885.68 Average 85.98% CG Compared to Average 7,649.11 97% of Average 11% % Raise to Reach 97% 6,780.00 Mayor and Council Salaries-Metro Area REQUEST O�' CITY COUNC(L ACTI4N CaUNClL AGENDA MEETING ITEM # � DATE 09/06/200 PREPARED BY: Finance and Administrative Services Caron Stransky aRIGiNATlNG DEPARTMEN`i" STAFF AUTH4R ��*��;*.��*��:�;�:��:��**��:��x*�� C4UNGIL ACTION REQUEST Pass 4rdinance relating to salaries of the Mayor and City Counci! members STAFF RECOMMENDATION Incr�ase the salary of Mayor from $7,800 �o $9,216 per yea�� and the salary of City Councif Member from $6,OQ� to �6,7g0 per year ef�ecfive January �, 2007.
