SICK LEAVE
SUMMARY -
Twelve days of paid sick leave per year (1 day per month) is the most typical policy of the government units surveyed. Sick leave benefits, in most
cases, are cumulative,
usually to a maximum of 90-120 days; however, numerous jurisdictions reported below impose no maximum on sick leave
accumulation.
Provisions for "banking"
of earned sick leave beyond the
stated maximum are identified, along with an explanation of any conversion or payout (other
than as severance) formulas which may apply. Fifty percent of the units of government either do not offer conversion or payout at all, or reserve it for
termination only.
Below are the details of paid sick leave plans.

SICK LEAVE - Page 3
RELATED SURVEY DATA - SICK LEAVE
Private Industry (Twin Cities) - 100 representative organizations
For clerical employees, organizations provide a variety of sick leave programs which generally grant full pay for the personal illness of the employees, with some
limit on the total number of days per year.
For plant production employees, many organizations provide full or partial pay for the personal illness of the employee. Often insured -type accident and sickness
programs are also provided which pay a percentage of salary (50%-100%) or fixed dollar amount for 26 weeks after a waiting period, usually I day for accident
and 4 or 8 days for illness.
For administrative -management employees, organizations usually continue full pay during the personal illness of the employee.
Typically, sick leave in private industry is used for other reason than illness of the employee. Separate policies exist for time off for death of illness in family,
personal business, etc. Unlike government, unused sick leave is not usually banked or paid out in the form of severance pay.
Federal Government
The Federal Government grants 13 days of sick leave per year, with unlimited accumulation.
FUNERAL LEAVE
SUMMARY - Maximum time off from 1-5 days (the most typical 3), with pay is common for a death in the immediate family, though quite a few of the units of
government surveyed do not specify a set number of days allowed for funeral leave. In approximately 1/2 of the jurisdictions reported here, days used for
this purpose are not charged against sick leave.
The definition of immediate family continues to be broadened in some units, permitting more persons to be covered under the funeral leave policies.
Following is a reporting of the number of paid days allowed for funeral leave (death in the immediate family) and the treatment of such days in each of the
jurisdictions surveyed.

FUNERAL LEAVE - Page 3
RELATED SURVEY DATA - FUNERAL LEAVE
Private Industry (Twin Cities) -- 100 representative organizations
All organizations provide some time off with pay for a death in the immediate family -- with a maximum of 3-5 days being most common. Most organizations,
however, do not deduct funeral leave time from sick leave, unlike the typical policy in the government units surveyed.
The typical definition of "immediate family" is spouse, child, parent, sibling (brother, sister), grandparent, parent -in-law
Federal Government
Time off for a death in the immediate family may be charged to annual leave, which may also be used for several other types of leave.
COST OF HOSPITAL -MEDICAL -SURGICAL INSURANCE (FEE-FOR-SERVICE EXCLUDES HMOSI
SUMMARY - The most common practice of financing hospital -medical -surgical insurance is for the government unit to pay the cost of employee coverage and the
employee and employer to share the cost of dependent coverage. Employer and employee contributions for dependent coverage are increasing; a few
government units still pay the full cost of family (employee + dependent) coverage for all or some portion of their work force.
Below are details of the monthly contributions made by employee and employer toward hospital -medical -surgical insurance. It is important to note in
interpreting these costs that employee coverage + dependent coverage = family coverage.

RELATED SURVEY DATA - COST OF GROUP DENTAL
Private Industry (Twin Citiesl - 76 representative organizations
About 29% of the organizations providing group dental insurance pay the total cost of employees coverage, and about 22% pay the full cost of family
(employee + dependent) coverage.
The above average employee contribution for single coverage is 24% of total premium cost and the average employee contribution for family coverage is 31%.
Federal Government
Cost breakdown data not available, due to varied nature and coverage of group dental plans offered.
MAXIMUM GOVERNMENT (EMPLOYER) COST OF HOSPITAL -MEDICAL -SURGICAL (FEE FOR SERVICE) OR HMO AND OTHER GROUP INSURANCE
SUMMARY -
This section contains breakdowns and totals of maximum monthly government (employer) costs for the four major types of group insurance coverage
provided to employees in the jurisdiction surveyed --
Hospital-Medical-Surgical (Fee -for -Service)
-- Life
-- Disability
-- Dental
The detailed cost breakdown enables government units to make general comparisons among the costs of individual group insurance programs in relation to
benefits received.
Employer and employee contributions to hospital -medical -surgical (fee-for-service) premium costs are outlined in a previous section.
Life insurance costs usually pertain to employee coverage only, but in a few instances, costs include coverage for dependents also. The full cost of basic
employee life insurance is almost always paid by the government unit.
Long-term disability costs are average costs obtained from fixed costs or through dividing total monthly premiums by the number of covered employees.
All costs listed represent the best estimate available of the full cost of coverage and are paid in full by the government unit.

EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE (TUITION REIMBURSEME
SUMMARY - Many of the larger units of government surveyed have policies allowing reimbursement of employees who, on their own initiative, take courses at the post
high school level to further their education.
Three assumptions can be generally made, unless stated otherwise -
-- Course must be job- and/or work-related
-- Prior supervisory approval is required before course is taken
-- Course must be successfully completed (grade "C" or better)
Payment for courses or seminars required by the employer is generally not considered or reported here.
Below are detailed reportings for the jurisdictions with formal tuition reimbursement policies --

RELATED SURVEY DATA - TUITION REIMBURSEMENT
Private Industry (Twin Cities) - 100 representative organizations
Most organizations reported have tuition reimbursement programs, with three-quarters paying the full cost of tuition. Many also pay all or some portion of the
cost of books and fees.
The same requirements for payment mentioned in the Summary above -- prior approval obtained, and course is work-related and successfully completed -- also
apply for private industry.
Federal Government
Tuition reimbursement is provided; however, individual federal agencies administer their own programs, which vary. Courses typically must be job-related and
approved. Generally, tuition, books and supplies are covered - may reimburse or give official time during the work week.
EDUCATION INCENTIVE PAY
SUMMARY - Below are detailed reportings for the 27 units of government surveyed which provide incentive pay -- primarily to public safety employees -- for earning
college credits. Some government employers, as indicated, extend the program to other employee groups. Several units of government either eliminated
the program in the last year, or are phasing it out by not offering it to employees hired after a specified date.
Some of the objectives of such programs for police are --
To attract college-educated recruits to public -safety work
-- To motivate employees to improve their education and professional competence
-- To provide incentives for employees to remain on their jobs

SEVERANCE PAY
SUMMARY - Below are detailed reportings of the 80 units of government surveyed which have severance pay plans for one or more employee groups. Most plans
involve some payment of accumulated sick leave to employees who resign or retire.
Unused vacation is almost always paid to employees who terminate, and therefore is not reported here as a form of severance pay. Several units of
government reported the provision of outplacement services to employees terminated due to layoff or work force reduction.

RELATED SURVEY DATA - SEVERANCE PAY
Private Industry (Twin Cities) - 100 representative organizations
Organizations surveyed generally do not provide severance pay unless the termination is initiated by the employer because of the need for a permanent work -force
reduction, movement of plant or office out of the city, etc. In such cases, 80% of the firms surveyed have severance pay schedules based on defined formulas or
schedules. 15% of the firms surveyed grant severance pay on an individual and/or company discretion basis.
Rarely do organizations in private industry make any severance or other payments based on accumulated sick leave. Unused vacation days, however, are almost
always paid to terminating employees.
Federal Government
A severance pay plan based on years of service and age is paid upon involuntary separation only -- but not for misconduct, delinquency or inefficiency, or when
entitled to retirement benefits.
The plan requires a minimum of one year's service and provides on week's pay for each year of service up to 10, plus 2 weeks' pay for each year of service over
10. An additional 10% is paid for each year over age 40. Maximum benefit in one year's salary.

OCTOBER 13, 1992
MR. MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
Exciting news this week'. I read a newspaper article
regarding the projected growth for our city. Great! and with
this growth will come many changes. The changes will affect
every member of our community thru jobs, churches, civic
organizations, businesses, schools and our government.
We will each be involved in the control of our
1) "Cost of Living" by making "Annual Adjustments"
2) We will "Merit" from this involvement and there will
certainly be "Movement in Ranae" and last, but not
least, we will hope for
3) "Longevity" so that we can all see with our own eyes
the progress our City will attain from this
involvement thru our jobs, churches, civic
organization., business and government.
Each one of us needs to ask himself/herself "What is
government, what is involvement and what is contribution?
As per the dictionary,
Government: is to rule, control or manage
Involvement: is bein involved, to have aaQ rt, to have
effect ffect on and to cause to be unpleasantly,
concerned
Contribution: is toig ve, to furnish as a SHARE!
It is not fun to be messengers, however, realizing we
citizens have a responsibility to be involved with our
elected Mayor -and Council Persons, we studied the budget. We
felt a need to scrutinize all spending to assure necessity
and service being provided is effective and efficient. As
business people, homeowners, taxpayers and citizens of
Rosemount it is necessary that we feel deeply our
responsibility to the city and to insure that tax monies are
wisely and properly spent. We have studied the budget and
would like to state -some of our concerns regarding the budget
as presented to the council.
The budget and documents presented for council consideration
are very difficult to use and a rg eat deal of time is
required to follow figures from one document to another. It
became evident that either a council Eerson would accept the
documents as presented:
A) without questioning the numbers;
B) without spot checking the additions as presented;
C) without checking the number flow from one document
to another;
D) without having any numbers from prior years
(especially useful and difficult for a new council
member to do without) - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
for comparison of increases for merit raises
(possible in 2 different levels),
for longevity increases (possible in 2 levels)
for car allowances,
movement in range increases (possible in 2
levels)
and other remunerations.
OEM
A) Each council member would spend much time
worksheeting the numbers to determine what the
increases actually amount to and whether that amount
is 3%, 5%, 10% or 20% etc?
Additionally, on Sheet #1 the numbers as presented for 1-1-93
already include the 3% cost of living increase and the
movement of range changes.
Then the column goes on to spell out the dollar
amount for car allowance, license pay, merit raise,
educational incentive, sergeant allowance and longevity which
can be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5% of base salary. After accumulating
all of these increases, the document totals and labels the
next column 1992 budget. Should this read 1993?
It also omits car expense on one employee and further it does
not add any of the column totals for ease in identifying
what the increase of each expense is.
It does accumulate vacation expense numbers which total
$124,300 and holiday pay which totals $79,700 for total
1993 vacation and holiday expense of $204,000.00.
None of the documents state the allowable hours for sick
leave each month. That normally is an item that does not
have to be accounted for in cash dollars as it is not an
accountable expense but rather an accumulation of sick leave
hours allowable for use, with pay, in the event of serious
illness.
However, no listed information is available to council
members which would inform each of you of the status of
earned sick leave.
The total payroll for the City could be $2,600,000+ if the
presented budget and other city salaries are accepted as
presented. Included in the payroll are:
$70459 for Port Authority salary expense;
$246859 for Water, Sewer and Storm Utility salary
expense.
Additionally, there are salary expenses for:
Full Time/Part Time employees;
Part Time Employees and;
for hourly salaries paid for other services.
The remainder of the budget is not difficult to read, but it
could be presented for the council using a subsidiary budget
which would accumulate, for example, a particular account
expense like office supplies for all divisions into a ledger
account wh-ich would state what the total budgeted expense for
office supplies actually are annually. A ledger such as this
would show which division is managing its office supply
expense, or, perhaps, it would be easy to spot a need for
consciences use of office supplies within a specific
department.
In summary we would like to recommend the following:
Council request from the Administrator a budget that is
easily read and one that provides the following:
1: All Budget #S will follow thru from
Budget to
Sheet #1 to
Sheet #2 to
Employee Status and to
all other documents presented that pertain
to budget
with number accuracy for easy reading and decision making.
As part of the document, the Employee Status sheet numbers
will have an explanation as to what formula was used to
arrive at the numbers presented;
2) Previous year's base salary and increases as paid
employees will be provided for comparison and tracking which
will make decision making easier;
3) The budget be backed by financial data that shows income
and expense for city employees not considered part of
Administration, but, listed as city employees on the City
Payroll Employee Status Sheets. With this information
available, there would be no reason to ask "where, why and do
all or part of their expenses go to the Port Authority,
Sewer, Water and Storm Utility?.
We have been approached and asked how we can risk, as local
business people, being involved in examining the budget for
1993. Our reply is, "The City employees an Administrative
Director, Steve Jilk, and Department Heads who are
professional business people, who know it is part of their
job to be questioned by their employers, namely us, the
taxpayers."
Our qualifications for making statements regarding the
budget,
we are all citizens of the community;
local business people,
citizens from various occupations,
employed, unemployed and retired.
It is the responsibility of each one of us to balance
his/her budget using the income we earn.
In summary, the State of Minnesota may have a shortfall of
1.5 billion this year and during the last fiscal periods the
budget reserves have been drained. This shortfall will, and
already has, had the trickled down effect on cities.
Our City has committed itself to heavy spending, however, we
can bring about prosperity with thrift, good budgeting, good
planning and wise spending. We must know our cost ratios and
make wise decisions at all times. This can be our challenge!
Mr. Mayor, Council Members, Mr. Jilk, &Department Heads.
This is NO WITCH HUNT.
Those present tonight pledge their involvement and will
contribute and cooperate with you in making our City,
ROSEMOUNT, A MODEL CITY DURING REBUILDING AND NEW GROWTH!
You will receive a copy of this presentation at the end of
the evening. If you have questions I will be happy to visit
with you.
Thank you.
ADDITIONALLY, FOR MYSELF I WOULD LIKE TO SAY:
IN MY MIND, OUR CITY IS A LARGE CORPORATION. It is a
separate entity with an Administrator, instead of a
President, Department Heads instead of Supervisors,
and employees.
Like any business it has a budgettomaintain.
The difference is the City does not HAVE TO PRODUCE A
PROFIT TO EXIST.
THAT IS OUR JOB, BUT WE EXPECT OUR CITY NUCLEOUS TO BE
VERY PRUDENT AND WISE WITH OUR TAX $
The following are the questions that the Taxpayers for a
Responsible Budget are requesting that the City Council answer
for us in writing by Friday the 16th of October.
Why is FICA and Medicaid listed as a benefit?
What is longevity, longevity change? How are they figured and
what is the criteria for them?
What is a merit raise? The criteria and how are they figured.!
When was the last time each staff member received a review and
by whom?
The council has $6,000 in their budget for educational expense.
What educational courses do our elected officials attend?
Are salaries always allocated to their respective departments?
ie: City street snow plowing, by park and rec employees?
Where did the money come from to revive Tiny Tots?
How is a movement in range figured? Why are they so large in
some cases?
The voter election judges are treated as city employees. The
referees for the park and rec department are not. Why?
Is the revenue from park and rec a wash with their expenses?
If so, how come Tiny Tots was dropped?
Why are there two merit raises for some employees, one for others
and still non for others?
What type of review has been completed by our elected officials
on this budget?

ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
EXECUTIVE CLOSED MEETING
DECEMBER 10, 1992
Pursuant to due call and notice thereof a special closed meeting of the
City Council of the City of Rosemount was duly held on Thursday, December
10, 1992, at 5:30 p.m. in the Council Lounge at City Hall.
Mayor McMenomy called the meeting to order at 5:40 p.m. with Councilmembers
Willcox, Rlassen, Staats and Wippermann present and City Administrator
Stephan Jilk. The meeting recessed for an 8:00 p.m. public hearing on the
1993 Budget, then reconvened at 10:10 p.m.
The purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the performance
evaluation of the City Administrator.
Mayor McMenomy indicated he had concerns about Steve Jilk's performance.
He felt it was appropriate to have City Council and Mr. Jilk discuss these
concerns openly. Council needs to focus on issues so Steve and staff can
work on issues. Council needs to set goals and give directives for Steve
to work on. The Mayor indicated that lack of council consensus and
direction makes it very difficult for staff and the city administrator.
The Mayor said his concerns were very specific and had a lot to do with
lack of follow up by Jilk. McMenomy mentioned several issues; a meeting
with owners of the Mobile Home Park on September 30, 1992 - not followed up
on; USPCI project by Ron Wasmund - not followed up on; lack of follow up
on the Mosquito Control District land use matter; the Condo project and
two matters relating to it; David Strese's request for information on
drilling a well - no follow up on; work attire worn by staff in City Hall
and the "messiness" of some offices in City Hall. McMenomy also suggested
staff is busy but not necessarily productive. Are some employees re: Ron
Wasmund and Lisa Freese qualified?
Council and the City Administrator discussed these issues.
Counc'ilmember Willcox noted several concerns:
- Poor follow up and timeliness of completed payments on Hawkins
Pond appeals
- Ron Wasmund hard position on the use of space in the Rosemount
Mall and indicated he (Willcox) had called the State Fire
Marshall to discuss this
- Highway 3 business relocations - no information to Council on
this
- Rich Lonnquist - Employment status, no feedback to Council
- Length of meetings too long, not good for Council or staff
- Staffing level is too high, state level of 540 of budget should
be met
- Lisa Freese - Mr. Willcox suggested he had City Administrator
write a deficiency report. She creates problems with developers
and should be disciplined
Council and the City Administrator discussed these issues.
ROSEMOUNT CITY PROCEEDINGS
EXECUTIVE CLOSED MEETING
DECEMBER 10, 1992
Councilmember Klassen noted that she understands staff and the City
Administrator need to respond in a timely manner, but staff is burdened
with an excessive work load. City Council should be less condemning of
staff. A positive support of staff will lead to better performance.
Councilmember Wippermann feels positive about staff. Staff has to be the
"front lines" with developers and special projects. Council should be more
supportive of staff. City Council must communicate with staff and discuss
matters before going public with disagreements and issues.
City Council and the City Administrator discussed these issues.
The City Administrator brought up the mayor's discussion with him on
November 18, 1992 and concerns about issues raised in the community and
possible need for the City Administrator to leave. Mayor McMenomy
discussed this and potential severance payment to the City Administrator.
Councilmember Willcox denied discussing or agreeing to a specific severance
package.
City Council and the City Administrator discussed this.
Mayor McMenomy indicated that he was of the opinion that he wanted to have
the City Council work together with the City Administrator to "turn things
around" and he felt if everyone would work together it could be turned
around.
The City Council and City Administrator Jilk agreed to meet again on
February 1, 1993 at 6:00 p.m. to continue these discussions and to discuss
progress being made.
MOTION by McMenomy to adjourn. Second by Willcox. All in favor. The
meeting was adjourned at 11:25 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

Date: October 9, 1992
Re: Special Council Meeting - October 13, 1992
Salary and Budget Format Discussion
On Tuesday evening the special City Council meeting was called to
discuss wage freezes and the format that the budget is presented
in for the City Council's consideration. At the time this
meeting was set it was suggested that staff did not need to
prepare for the meeting since Councilmember Willcox would be
providing information on this matter. Since there was no further
direction given as to the format of the meeting or how these
subjects would be discussed, I felt that it would be helpful to
at least provide some suggestion as to the format for the
meeting.
I also felt that if these subjects were to be discussed in some
logical and professional manner it may be worthy of some research
on the matter. There has been an awful lot of local press on this
matter because of the letters to the editor that have been in the
papers. Much of this information is false and misleading. It
would seem that the purpose of some of these articles is to
mislead and not to inform. Two years ago this City went through
a six month investigation to prove allegations false, which was
done. At that time misinformation, was used to create a feeling
of mistrust and animosity. Even after that investigation was
complete and all parties charged were exonerated, mistrust and
hurt feelings remained. As in that case the publicity and
comments were not substantiated by fact and those making public
comment on the matter did not take the time or the effort to ask
city staff information in order to get the facts. This kind of
action, unless clarified to the public can only hurt the
functioning of the city council and city staff. I would like to
take some time on Tuesday evening to discuss these articles and
to discuss the "facts".
When the subject of wage freezes was brought up, I was not
informed of the idea until it was discussed at the meeting.
Approaching the subject in this manner may be good from a
strategic aspect if the desire is to not discuss it in an open
and professional manner, but it doesn't say much for setting a
legitimate process in motion which will allow you to make final
decisions in the matter which can be defended to both the
citizens and your employees. The employees of the City of
Rosemount are your employees. They are not my employees. They
are yours, and you have just as must responsibility to them to
insure that they are being treated fairly as you have to respect
and treat the other taxpayers in the City.
At this point the employees are very concerned about where they
stand and what your purpose is in considering a wage freeze.
Without any further explanation to them other than what occurred
at the Council meeting, it is easy to understand their concern.
I trust that as we move ahead on this budget discussion and the
topic of wages and benefits that it can be a process that is
orderly, credible and defendable. I trust that this is not the
continuation or the beginning of a process that is pointed to
individuals rather than the process.
It is of concern to me that two months ago the idea of a wage
freeze was not mentioned. When we were first discussing the
budget it was not a problem. Now it is. I cannot stress enough
my concerns that as we move ahead on this that we all agree as to
what the issue(s) really are.• If the City's salary and benefit
program is too high compared to other municipalities, when
compared on logical and reasonable fashion, then wages and
benefits should be scaled back. But we must make these
comparisons in the best and most appropriate fashion as possible.
I am including information in this packet which is gleaned from
the annual report from the League of Minnesota Cities. This
report is compiled by a private sector firm on contract with the
League. The report is public information and can be accessed by
anyone. The books which this information is collected from is
also included for your reference so that you don't get the idea
that it has been manipulated in any manner. Please, please
understand that you can't take and make direct comparisons
between each and every position as reported in the survey and
Rosemount positions. To use the survey you must be prepared to
discuss potential differences and similarities between positions.
No two cities are alike especially when you are discussing non
union positions and management level positions. The information
provided was taken from those cities, reporting, and we chose a
group of cities especially to compare to. Whether you agree on
the cities chosen is open to discussion. We chose all Dakota
County Cities and then all cities in the Metropolitan area with
populations up to 17,000. I will be pleased to go over that data
with you on Tuesday.
On Tuesday I will also have information in regard to the concerns
Councilmember Willcox has raised regarding the format of the
budget and the allocation of expenses to different departments.
I believe that this discussion is appropriate. I would suggest,
as Jeff May has reiterated several times, that item by item
allocation to department may be a better way to manage the
-2-
` financial controls; but it can be very time consuming and
expensive. At the time we feel that budgeting as we are is more
efficient and in the long run still very cost effective when
looking at the big picture. I will be pleased to discuss this
information on Tuesday.
Attached is a suggested outline for Tuesday's meeting.

benefit packages are excessive and
should be reformed. It cited, in particu-
lar, an eight-week paid vacation package
in the Iron Range city of Mountain Iron.
"Are public employees overpaid?
That's not generally the case," Dayton
said at a news conference. "They are
well -compensated for their work." He
called for no major reforms, saying citi-
zens need better information about em-
ployees' salaries to decide if action on
the local level is needed.
The report came out only a few hours
before municipal lobbyists and city offi-
cials, including St. Paul Mayor Jim
Scheibel, called their own news confer-
ence to argue against proposed cuts in
state aid to cities. The auditor's report
could make it harder for the cities to win
that lobbying fight, city and legislative
leaders said.
The auditor's study grew out of arti-
cles in the Pioneer Press last year about
the number of St. Paul employees earn-
ing more than $50,000 per year. The
study says the stories led to attempts to
freeze the salaries of highest-paid, non -
unionized employees. That proposal was
dropped, and the auditor was asked to
undertake a study instead.
Dayton said his staff looked at cities,
counties, school districts and other local
government bodies. It sought to compare
salaries and benefit packages to those in
private business. It made no attempt to
judge the quality or difficulty of the em-
ployees' work, nor workers' productivity
from one community to another.
Here are some of the key findings:
■ Among the counties, Ramsey County
had the highest percentage of employees
earning more than $50,000, at 10.5 per-
cent of its full-time workforce. St. Paul,
also at 10.5 percent, was highest among
the cities. North St. Paul -Maplewood -
Oakdale, at 8 percent, was tops, among
the school districts.
By comparison Hennepin County's per-
centage of "over -50s" was smaller, at 8.4 -
percent, although it has more employees
and more higher -paid workers. Minneap-
olis ranked well down the cities' list at
7.1 percent, behind such cities as Eagan
(9.8 percent), Golden Valley (8.9) and
White Bear Lake (8.3). Among the metro -
area school districts, St. Paul ranked in
the middle of the pack at 4 percent,
while Minneapolis was at 3 percent.

■ In top management ions ana in pro-
fessional positions such as lawyers and
engineers, the report said, private pay
rates are often higher than those in local '
government. But the report said lower
paid employees of local governments
"tend to earn more than their private'-. '
.sector counterparts." State pay equity,
legislation, . aimed at bringing up low
paid,female workers, has contributed to.t
this trend for the lower -paid workers,
reportstates. .
■ Union representation, particularly in
St. Paul, is linked to higher salaries.
About 97 percent of St. Paul's workforce
is unionized and subject to collective liar
gaining, and many of the units can go to;, :
binding arbitration, where the amount of
the pay raise is taken out of the city's
hands.
The report said 85 percent of the St.
Paul employees earning more than
'$50,000 were unionized. It said "state and
local elected officials are reluctant to
conflict with employee unions, which !
wield considerable political clout."
■ The report "found evidence of good,
and often excellent, fringe benefit pack-
ages," including better vacation packages
and health benefits than comparable jobs
in private industry. It concluded that
"The combined effects of good pay and
great benefits means that local govern-
ment employees overall fare better than
their private sector counterparts."
■ Dayton focused on an eight-week va-
cation benefit in Mountain Iron in addi-
tion to 14 paid holidays. He said he found
it "excessive." The city administrator,
Larry P. Johnson, responded that no one
on the payroll now qualifies for that
much paid time off, although one senior
employee nearing retirement has seven
weeks of vacation.
Dayton said he would not criticize any
government for paying too much, but the
report says fuller reporting of pay rates
— which are already public information
for anyone who asks — might help com-
munities decide if they can afford the
salaries. It argues against imposing a
salary cap but says reasonable limts
should be imposed on paid time off.
Scheibel, who is trying to organize an
effort to fight a $10 million state aid cut
proposed by Gov. Arne Carlson, said of
the report, "The timing. is not good." But
he said he has worked hard to keep sala-
ries down, by freezing the pay of non -
unionized appointees, by negotiating
modest increases with unions and by
eliminating some high -paid positions
through early retirements.
With binding arbitration, state -re-
quired pay equity supplements and the
collective bargaining process, there is no
easy, quick way to cut ,salary, according
to Scheibel and Ramsey County officials.
j At the same time, they said, constituents
are demanding more police protection,
more library and park hours, tighter con-
trol of offenders on parole and quicker
response to child -abuse complaints.
"I find people asking for more, not
less," Scheibel said.
Officials of the American Federation
of State, County and Municipal Employ-
ees, the public -employee union which
represents hundreds of city and county
employees, had not reviewed the details
FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 1992
of the report and could not comment on
it.
Several state legislators suggested it
could make for a harder Legislative ses-
sion for city and county lobbyists..,
House Minority Leader Terry Demp-
sey, IR -New Ulm, said the report "is on a
collision course" with the cities' argu-
ment that they can't afford any further
cuts in state aid.
Paul Ogren, DFL-Aitkin, chairman of
the House Tax Committee, who said he is
sympathetic to the cities' concerns about
the budget cuts, said the report could
make it "harder for cities to make the
arguments that they can't take cuts in
state aid."
But Don Slater, executive director of
the League of Minnesota Cities, a munici-
pal lobbying group, said, "I don't think it
hurts us. It seemed to me it does not
indicate *any gross overpayments of city
employees."

`Doing the dirty work' calledpart
of reason for high city, county, pay
JIM RAGSDALE and BRIAN BONNER STAFF wRfrERs
St. Paul and Ramsey County have been good to their employ-
ees. But have they been too good?
That is both the conclusion and the question raised by a state
auditor's report on local government salaries. The city of St.
Paul and Ramsey County, both with about 10.5 percent of their
employees earning more than $50,000, are at the top of the
"over -50" pay charts compiled by the auditor.
The people in the "over -50" group are no mystery. In the city,
about one-third are police officers and firefighters, whose wages
are subject to binding arbitration over which the city may have
no control. The group also includes the city attorneys, engineers,
department heads and top assistants.
In the county, the "over -50s" include about 95 child protection
workers and social workers, lawyers in the county attorney's
office, supervisors in the Corrections Department, department
heads and top administrators. ' In Ramsey County, about two-
thirds of the employees are union members, compared to about
97 percent in St. Paul.
City and county officials say they are dealing with a senior
work force, many of whom have advanced to - the highest pay
levels. They note that state -mandated pay equity laws, designed
to bring up low -paid women workers, have had the effect of
raising all workers' pay. They say with high levels of unioniza-
tion, they have little direct control over pay scales except
through the difficult process of contract bargaining. This year,
both the city and county have held unions to increases in the 1
to 3 percent range.
But the question — how much is too much? — is likely to be
asked again and again as residents look at higher property tax
bills and state legislators try to shave aid to local governments.
11 Roy "Pete" Jackson, a native St. Paulite who has lived in the
city all his 71 years, said he is thinking of moving to the suburbs
because he's sick of government waste.
"We can't afford it," Jackson said, referring to city taxpayers
in general and himself and his wife in particular. When he
retired as sales manager for the former Northwestern Bell in
1979, he said his top salary was $27,000.
Now he pays more than $1,000 in property taxes on .a house
worth $67,000, he says. "We have been looking at townhouses
outside of the city. One more shot in taxes and we're out of
here," Jackson said.
The problem is strong unions and too many political appoin-
Jackson Braun Abrams
tees, Jackson said. He contends government jobs shelter people
from the private sector.
"Then there's the (Mayor Jim) Scheibel appointees... Any-
body who can't make it in the private sector seems to be
working in the city. I think there's a lot of fat that could be
trimmed."
But Jane Braun, a senior child protection worker for Ramsey
County, said government workers take on tasks private compa-
nies wouldn't touch. She believes her salary of $50,268 is fair.
She is one of three people who screen 26,000 calls or reports a
year to determine whether a social worker should intervene in f
cases of child abuse or neglect and other family problems. She
works 10 -hour days, four days a week, has a bachelor's degree
in social work, and has worked for the county for the last 23
years.
"We work with situations that people in the private sector do
not want to have anything to do with," she said. "The reality is
that my day is listening about children not being fed, not being
clothed properly, children whose bones are being broken, who
are being sexually abused. I'm doing what the public finds
generally distasteful."
David Abrams, the city's labor negotiator, said "80 percent of
the people who make more than $50,000 a year are union-
ized... A traditional rank -and -file position is `give us the pay
we're due. If you have to raise taxes or lay people', off, so be
Terry Schutten, the Ramsey County executive director, said
the county has been adding new duties to its employees, and
taxpayers view a high level of services as part of the "quality of
life." He said the county's "dedicated, hard-working work force"
helps make the Twin Cities a desirable place to live by tending
to the social ills that have overwhelmed other urban areas.

Rehwaldt's contract pays $_98, 754,
'The District 196 Board of Education, at its June 22 meeting, ap-
proved a 2.5 percent increase in the salary structure for non-union
employees for the 1992-93 school year.
The board's action `covers non-union employees 'who work in�the
-district office, -which comprises about 2 percent of total district
employees The salary appropriate for each employee was deter
mined by individual performance evaluations and the 2:5 percent in-
crease to the salary structure for each of the job classifications.
The salary structure for non-union employees was also increased,
by 2.5 percent last year: -
As part of its action, the board also approved a new contract for
Superintendent R.J. Rehwaldt. As he did last year, Rehwaldt re-
quested that his salary be increased by the minimum annual adjust-.
ment provided under his contract, which is roughly 2 percent. With
the 2 percent increase, Rehwaldt's annual salary increases to $98,754,
excluding benefits :and a 'monthly automobile* allowance.`. His,
previous salary was $96,818.
