EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
City Council Regular Meeting: July 17, 2018
AGENDA ITEM: City Council Compensation AGENDA SECTION:
Consent
PREPARED BY: Logan Martin, City Administrator AGENDA NO.: 6.h.
ATTACHMENTS: Draft Ordinance APPROVED BY: LJM
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve the Ordinance Amending Salaries and
Compensation for Mayor and Councilmembers for the City of Rosemount.
BACKGROUND
State law requires that compensation adjustments for elected officials be done prior to the election this
year, and that any adjustment cannot be effective until the following year (Jan. 1, 2019). The last time the
salary for the Mayor and Councilmembers was increased was in 2014.
At the July 2nd City Council work session, Council salary comparison information was distributed and
discussed. Based on direction received from the Council at that time, staff is recommending that the
Council receive the same cost of living increase as the non-union employees receive, on an every other
year basis due to the aforementioned law. With a 2.75% increase for 2019, the Mayor’s salary would
increase from $9,200 to $9,453/year and the Councilmembers’ salaries would go from $7,000 to
$7,193/year.
Based on this direction, during even numbered years beginning in 2018 the salaries shall be reviewed for
possible COLA adjustments with an effective date of the following January. Any proposed salary
adjustment for the Mayor and Councilmembers must be approved by ordinance of the City Council
(attached).
Staff was directed to bring this item to a regular Council meeting for consideration.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance Amending Salaries and Compensation for Mayor and
Councilmembers for the City of Rosemount.
