SALARY DATA <br />The Cityinitiated this Study with the objective of assuring that its Compensation Plan is both <br />internally equitable and externally competitive. The Job Evaluation System (outlined above) is <br />performed to address the issue of internal equity. To achieve external competitiveness, a <br />market survey of comparable communitieswas conducted. The following explains the labor <br />market review and the collection of salary data. <br />Selection of Comparable Communitiesfor Data Purposes <br />Selecting communitiesfor the comparison group is an important element in a Classification and <br />Compensation Study. When selecting communitiesto serve as comparables, it is important to <br />use particular criteria to evaluate the other communitiesto ensurethat those chosen as <br />comparables will be the most similar to Centerville. <br />To determine which communitiesshould be used for survey purposes, MGT first considered all <br />Minnesota communities with a population between approximately 2,000 and8,000 in the <br />following Counties: Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, <br />Washington,and Wright. <br />CriteriaTotal Possible Points <br />1. Population15 <br />2. Per Capita Income15 <br />3. Taxable Tax Capacity15 <br />4. Median Housing Value15 <br />5. Total Current Expenditures15 <br />6. Property Tax15 <br />7. Proximityto Centerville10 <br />100 <br />The seven (7)categories listed above were selected to mirror important criteriasuch as similar <br />financial conditions, population, and proximity. <br />Within each of the seven (7)categories, ranges of compatibility were established. For example, <br />vjg"enqugt"ceqoowpkv{ycu"vq"ocvejkpi"EgpvgtxknngҀu"guvkocvgf"rqrwncvkqp."vjg"enqugt"vjg" <br />communitywould be to receiving the maximum of fifteen (15)points.

Thus, acommunityachieving a total of one hundred (100) points would be <br />considered most comparable to the City of Centerville. Acommunitywith zero (0) points was <br />therefore determined to be the least comparable to Centerville. A more detailed explanation of <br />the methodology used to determine the comparable communitiesis included in Appendix B. <br />City of Centerville, MN| May 2026 <br />6 <br />CLASSIFICATION, COMPENSATION, AND PAY EQUITY <br />12 <br />REPORT <br /> <br />
