04. Clerk and Treasurer Job Descriptions and Wage Adjustments1
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: July 1, 2026, City Council Meeting
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Kyle Morell, City Administrator
Re: City Clerk and Treasurer Job Descriptions Update and Wage Adjustment
Resolution 07-01-26-02
Background:
Changes in office staff, contracted work, and task reassignment have necessitated revisions to the job
descriptions for our Treasurer and City Clerk. As the Council knows, City Clerk Brenda Eklund will
retire at the end of June and will no longer work regularly scheduled hours. She will remain on the
payroll until September as she uses her accrued PTO. The City has contracted with Washington County
to organize and run its elections, a function formerly performed by the City Clerk. The City no longer
performs accounting services for Forest Lake Television (FLTV), a function formerly performed by the
Treasurer. Tasks within the office have also been reassigned amongst the staff, with the Treasurer
taking over Payroll (a change made in 2025, but not reflected in the job description at the time) and
carrying the County-required Food Service Manager certification so the City can continue to rent out its
commercial kitchen.
With the retirement of our City Clerk, I have elected to promote Office Assistant Brenda Stignani to the
role of City Clerk. The previous and updated job descriptions are attached. We have removed election
coordination and payroll from the City Clerk position. The position is also no longer required to work
evenings, as I attend the same meetings and will take notes that, along with the Boxcast recordings, will
be used to compile the meeting minutes. The position has also been moved back to an hourly position.
It had been hourly up until 2020, when the job description was last revised. With no requirement to
attend evening meetings, I believe hourly is appropriate for the position.
With Bee’s promotion, the City has posted for a new Office Assistant and will be looking to hire one,
which will be addressed in the next agenda item.
The Treasurer position has changed since we hired Veronica in 2025. The position took over payroll
and plays a larger role in Accounts Payable than it had prior to 2025. While the position no longer does
the accounting for FLTV, it has taken on a larger role in the EDA. Veronica is also our Food Service
Manager, carrying the required certification, now that Brenda has retired. The Treasurer's job
description has been updated to better reflect the work done currently being done. The previous job
description is also included for reference.
1
With Bee's job title change and Veronica's updated job description, I would like to adjust their pay to
better reflect the value of their positions. I would like to increase their compensation by $5.00 per hour.
This would bring both positions to around $30.00 per hour.
Financial Impact:
Resolution 12-16-25-01 approved 2026 pay rates for City staff. The following rates were approved for
the three office staff positions.
At these approved wages, the office staff together is paid $85.97 per hour. I am proposing to reallocate
this amount to the new Office Assistant position and hourly increases for our Treasurer and new City
Clerk that will ultimately result in a slight reduction in the collective hourly wage of the office staff.
The City posted the Office Assistant position with a pay rate of $22.00 to $25.00 per hour. I expect to
hire at a rate of between $23.00 and $24.00 per hour. With the $ 5.00-per-hour increase for the new City
Clerk and Treasurer, the total hourly compensation for the office is $84.07, a reduction of $1.90 per
hour. The City will also save $604.96 per month on the health insurance premium paid for the retiring
City Clerk, which the City will stop paying once Brenda is off the payroll.
Resolution 07-01-26-02 is attached; it amends the 2026 pay rates for Office Assistant, Treasurer, and
Clerk. The amended rates will go into effect for the Treasurer and Clerk for the pay period beginning
June 28. Both positions have been working in their current roles since March.
Options:
1) Approve updated Job Descriptions for the City Clerk and Treasurer
2) Approve Resolution 07-01-26-02 – Amending 2026 Pay Rates
3) Table for Further Discussion
Recommendation:
Options 1 and 2
