Mayor and Councilmembers Salary
During the 1996 budget process, information was requested on the status of
the City Council salaries. Attached for your review is the relevant
information on the City Council salaries, some metropolitan cities
information (from 1993), and some 1995 information from the League of
Minnesota Cities on council salaries in outstate communities.
Council salaries are set by ordinance and must be approved before elections
and take affect after elections. The attached draft ordinance includes a one
year cost of living increase. I could not find anything in writing in the file
from the city attorney regarding cost of living increases that go beyond the
next election. Nonetheless, I think that it is good policy to not have a long
standing cost of living increase in a city ordinance. If a cost of living increase
is approved for 1998 and no other changes take place for 1999 or beyond;
then the wages established in 1998 will remain in effect. However, a new
ordinance can certainly be considered in 1998. I am not familiar with any
city that has their councilmembers wages increased by a cost of living factor
on an annual basis.
For information on the total number of meetings held by the City Council and
the total number of hours spent in City Council meetings in 1995 as
compared to previous years, please see Page 3 of the Administration
Department Annual Report. The total number of hours spent on Council
business outside of meetings varies from individual to individual. Everyone
can do their own calculations as to the "hourly wage" for your public service
as City Councilmembers.

meeting until 10/17/94. It was the consensus of the Council to make no decision
on this issue at this time.
Council Salary Increase
Mayor Duitsman questioned whether the Council wanted to consider an increase
in the Council's salary for 1995. He noted that the last increase was in 1991.
Councilmembers Scheel and Farber felt that a raise in Council salary was
appropriate as the Council meets more now than in the past.
COUNCILMEMBER FARBER MOVED TO ADOPT ORDINANCE 94-14, AN ORDINANCE

mendattons. Committees may not make
decisions on behalf of the council. Com-
mittees ~re subject to the same rules ~s
the full council under the open meeting
Law.
In many cities. It is routine for the
council to automatically approve a
committee's recommendations ff the
committee has done a thorough and
competent Job. But. the council's final
decision, not the committee's recommen-
dation, binds the city. To illustrate,
committees may not enter into a contract
or employ workers even ff a specific
motion of the council delegates such
power to them.
Salaries of mayor and
council members
The council, by ordinance, fixes the
saJazles o£ the mayor and council mcm-
bcrs. The ordinance takes effect on the
date set in the ordinance but not until
after the next succeeding regular city
elecUon. There is no referendum on the
ordinance, by pent. ion or otherwise. ~
Until the council adopts an ordinance
fl~ng salaries, previous salaries remain In
effect.
Salaries may be on tin armmt] or
monthly lump sum or a per diem basis.
The per diem may be payable for each
regular meeting, for each regular and
special meeUng, or for each day's service.
Unless the ordinance provides otherwise,
a lump sum salary covers special
meetings. ?o
An employer must allow a city council
member to take t. tme off from regular
employment to attend council meetings. 7]
When the council member takes time off
without pay. the employer must make an
effort to allow the employee to make up
the time with other hours when the
'employee is available.
Iron Range cities have the authority to
make per diem payments to council
members of $25 per day, not to exceed
$250 per year. for absences from the city
while on official business, n
Citizen Involvement
One way to increase positive feelings
about government is to increase citizen
involvement.
Cltywide or neighborhood committees,
special project review committees, and
even block organizations are some of the
committees cropping up in many cities.
In many cases, the council has formed or
encouraged these citizen committees.
They have saved time for public officials
and have made contributions which could
only occur through citizen participation.
Council members have found that
ignoring citizen concerns can result in
their removal from office at the next
electJon or in the defeat of a program or
activity through citizen opposition.
Although city officials cannot, in most
cases, delegate decision-making authority
to citizen groups, they can use citizens in
advisory roles. This technique works,
however, only ff the council listens to the
advice. If the council doesn't follow the
advice of the committee, it should give
understandable reasons for talcing other
action.
When a council forms a citizens' advi-
sory body, it should lay out the ground
rules for its activities and point out that
in the absence of clear statutory authority
to delegate responsibility, the council
must, by law. make the final decisions.
State law allows, and in some cases
requires, city councils to delegate deci-
sion-making power to certain independent
boards and commissions.
Independent citizen boards
and commissions
Independent citizen boards and com-
missions can help alleviate the council's
workload.
The amount of discretionary power the
council can give to such bodies varies. In
some instances, such as a utilities com-
mission, the statutes give the commission
all discretionary authority necessary to
