5.e Staff Report-Step Increase-Eklund
Staff Report
Date of Meeting: October 17, 2017
To: City Council
From: Neil Soltis, City Administrator
Re: Step Increase, Eklund
Background:
Under the City’s Compensation 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.
Eklund began employment with the City of Scandia on October 1, 2004.
Issue:
Should the City Council approve the step increase for Deputy Clerk Brenda Eklund?
Proposal Details:
Brenda and I have reviewed her work performance over the past year as it relates to the duties
listed in the job description. Brenda’s performance meets or exceeds the performance
standards for the position and merits the increase provided in the City Compensation policy .
I recommend Eklund receive a step increase to Step 4 ($21.46/hr.) beginning on her anniversary
date.
Options:
1) Approve the step increase effective October 1, 2017
2) Do not approve the step increase
Recommendation:
Option 1.
