CONSENT ITEM – 5B MEMORANDUM DATE: February 13, 2017 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers William S. Joynes, Sr., City Administrator FROM: Sue Iverson, Director of Finance and Administrative Services SUBJECT: Pay Equity Report Background In 1984, the Minnesota Legislature passed the Local Government Pay Equity Act (LGPEA) (M.S. 471.991-.999). Local governments were given until December 31, 1991 to comply with the law and were required to file reports with Minnesota Management & Budget (MMB) by January 31, 1992. All jurisdictions were then placed on a three year reporting cycle with a third of them reporting each year beginning in January 1994. Arden Hills last submitted a report in January 2014 which was for salary data as of December 31, 2013. Discussion Our current reporting deadline is January 31, 2017. Since the January 23rd meeting was canceled, this was moved to this agenda and communicated to the State. Attached is the report that will be submitted for the City of Arden Hills based on salary data as of December 31, 2016. Pay equity is determined based upon salary data and practices within our own City and not outside sources. This report shows that we are in compliance within our own system. Since the reports can be confusing and hard to understand, I have attached the “Guide to Understanding Pay Equity Compliance and Computer Report” for your reference in interpreting the report (last updated in 2014). The job points and pay system that was used for this report was the one created when the City last did a compensation system and market study in late 2015. Recommendation Motion to approve the Arden Hills Pay Equity report dated 1/25/17.
