Staff Revort
Date of Meeting: October 15, 2013
To: City Council
From: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Re: Step Increase, Eklund
Background:
In July the City Council approved City of Scandia Compensation Policy(Resolution 07-16-13-03).
Under the policy, each year on an employee's anniversary date following a satisfactory performance
review and with approval by the City Council, the employee is eligible to receive a step increase. The
resolution further stated that employees below the minimum step for their classification would be
placed at that step after a satisfactory review.
Eklund began employment with the City of Scandia on October 1, 2004.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Deputy Clerk Eklund?
Proposal Details:
On October 2, 2013 Deputy Clerk Eklund and I sat down for her annual review. A review of work
completed over the past year as it relates to Eklund's job duties was discussed and goals were
established for the coming year.
I recommend Eklund's compensation be set at the grade minimum for Deputy Clerk, ($19.82/hr)
beginning on her anniversary date.
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective October 1, 2013
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
