Re: Compliance with the Local Govemment Pay Equity Act
Attached is letter from the Minnesota Department of Empioyee Relations,
notifying us that we are in compliance with the Locai Government Pay Equity Act.
City Council reviewed and approved submission of the City's report last January.
When we submitted the report, we anticipated that we would be in compliance.
This letter confirms the City's compliance with the Act.
Local governments must complete this process once every three years.
Therefore, the City will next be required to submit a report on January 1, 2001.

Congratulations! I am very pleased to send you the enclosed notification of compliance with
the Local Government Pay Equity Act. Since ttze law was passed in 1984, jurisdictions
throughout Minnesota have been working diligently to meet the requirements of the act, and I
commend your hazd work and commitment to achieving compliance.
As you know, Minnesota Rules Chapter 3920 specifies the procedure and criteria for
measuring compliance, and information about your situation is enclosed. If you have any
questions about the materials or about pay equity in general, please contact Pay Equity
Coordinator, Faith Zwemke at 651-296-2653.
One of the things the rule requires is that our department notify each jurisdiction when the
next pay equity report is due. In your case, this date is January 31, 2001, and we will be
sending you forms and instructions at a tafec time. A,lso, this n�tice and resuits of the
