EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ISSUE
Council Member Sterner has requested a discussion pertaining to Council compensation.
BACKGROUND
The current level of compensation for the Mayor and Council Members has been in place since January,
2001. Compared to 1990 compensation levels, pay increased by $1,300 per year for the Mayor and $1,200
per year for Council Members.
The City of Rosemount has followed a philosophy of implementation of equitable pay ranges for its
employees In following this standard, staff has evaluated-salanes of city councils in communities of
similar size as well as those of surrounding communities in'Dakota County. Dakota County cities are
circled on the salary survey attachment. Rosemount currently trails the like -sized communities of
Hastings, South St. Paul and West St. Paul. Rosemount is higher than Farmington. In communities that
are similar in size and development stage to Rosemount those cities which we analyze comparatively in
terms of Key Financial Strategies (underlined in the attachment) Chaska is the only community roughly
equivalent to Rosemounes salary structure.
SUMMARY
If Council were looking to Staff for a recommendation of a reasonable salary increase, it appears that a fair
compensation based on similar metro -area communities and neighboring cities would be $8400 for Mayor
and $6000 for Council. Staff requests that Council give direction pertaining to annual salanes.
