CONSENT ITEM – 6B <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: January 13, 2020 <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers <br />Dave Perrault, City Administrator <br />FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director <br />SUBJECT: Pay Equity Report <br />Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: <br />N/A N/A N/A <br /> <br />Council Should Consider <br />The City Council should consider a motion to approve the Arden Hills Pay Equity report due <br />January 2020. <br /> <br />Background <br />Local governments must comply with the provisions of the 1984 Local Government Pay Equity <br />Act. This includes filing a compensation compliance report with the Minnesota Management and <br />Budget Office (MMB) every three years. The Pay Equity Act was designed to ensure that local <br />government jurisdictions do not compensate female job classes consistently below male job classes <br />of comparable work value. Arden Hills last submitted a report in February 2017 which was for <br />salary data as of December 31, 2016. <br /> <br />Discussion <br />Using the State of Minnesota’s compensation software and the City’s payroll data, we have <br />calculated the compliance report based on salary data as of December 31, 2019. The results indicate <br />that the City is currently in compliance with the Local Government Pay Equity Act. <br /> <br />By approving the report, the Council is ensuring that the report has been filed with MMB and that <br />a copy has been provided to each exclusive bargaining unit representative. It is available to anyone <br />by request. <br /> <br />Budget Impact <br />None. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />A. Pay Equity Report <br />B. Interpretation guide <br />
