Home My WebLink About7.E. Elected Officaial Salaries W11111 General Business 7. E. SHAKOPEE TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: William H. Reynolds, City Administrator DATE: 08/05/2015 SUBJECT: Elected Official Salaries (F) Action Sought The Council directed staff to place the topic of elected official salaries on the agenda for discussion. Background Attached is a listing of elected official salaries for cities in the metropolitan area with populations over 30,000 as well as the salaries paid by several of our immediate neighbors, who are less than 30,000 population. State law requires that any change to elected official salaries must be adopted prior to a municipal election and take effect after the election. Therefore, any action taken now would be effective for those in office January 1, 2016. Requested Action The Council is asked to discuss and, if a change in salaries is desired, provide direction to staff to place a Resolution establishing the new salaries on the agenda for action at the August 18 Council meeting.
