2.5. ERMUSR 06-11-2013 4Se.4Elk Diver Municipal Utilities UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING TO: FROM: Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission: ERMU Wage & Benefits Committee: John Dietz—Chair John Dietz—Chair Al Nadeau—Vice Chair Troy Adams, P.E. —General Manager Daryl Thompson—Trustee Theresa Slominski —Finance and Office Manager Mark Fuchs—Electric Superintendent MEETING DATE: AGENDA ITEM NUMBER: June 11, 2013 2.5 SUBJECT: Minnesota Pay Equity Compliance BACKGROUND: In February 2012 we filed our 2012 Pay Equity Compliance Report, per Local Government Pay Equity Act, M.S.471.991-471.999 and Minnesota Rules, Chapter 3920 requiring local jurisdictions to submit a pay equity report to the State of Minnesota every three years. At that time we were out of compliance and the wage committee was charged with meeting to propose changes to bring us back into compliance. DISCUSSION: The Wage& Benefits Committee met in June 2012 and a compliant report was achieved, and we were instructed by the state to wait for the official letter to re-submit. We received notice February 27th, 2013 that we had until May 25th, 2013 to submit a new compliant report, with updated current information. The State has allowed an extension to accommodate ERMU's Commission meeting schedule for ERMU Commission concurrence in the filing of the report. Updating the report required the additions of new positions and changes to the points of existing positions that had job responsibility changes since the previous filing. The Wage Committee met again on June 5, 2013, to review all the details leading into the rewritten report which reflects the new positions and changes. With all of the updates, the revised 2012 Pay Equity Compliance Report meets the requirements and ERMU is in compliance. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The changes with the recently added positions and revised job responsibilities do not have an impact to the budget as approved in December 2012. ACTION REQUESTED: The Wage& Benefits Committee recommends that the Commission approve this updated pay equity report filing for 2012.
