EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

AGENDA SECTION:
AGENDA ITEM: City Council Compensation
Consent
PREPARED BY: Logan Martin, City Administrator
AGENDA NO.: 6.h.
Emmy Foster, Assistant City Administrator
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, 2023).
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).
The Council last received a salary adjustment in 2020. Staff is recommending that the Council receive the
same cost of living increase as the non-union employees receive, on every other year basis due to the
aforementioned law. With a 2.5% increase approved for non-union staff for 2022, the Mayor’s salary would
increase from $9,453/year to $9,689/year and the Councilmembers’ salaries would go from $7,408/year to
$7,593/year.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the Ordinance Amending Salaries and Compensation for Mayor and
Councilmembers for the City of Rosemount.
