City Council Agenda Report
City of Scandia
14727 209�' St. North
Scandia, MN 55073 (651)433-2274
Action Requested: Adopt Ordinance No. 132, Establishing Compensation for the Mayor
and City Council, Repealing Ordinance No. 121.
Deadline/Timeline: Ordinances changing City Council compensation must be adopted
prior to a municipal election and become effective after the election.
Background: • The current ordinance providing for City Council salaries requires
an adjustment tied to the inflation rate, to occur on January 1 every
other year following a city election.
• The last adjustment occurred on January 1, 2009. Another was
scheduled to occur on January 1, 2011. However, in September of
2010 the Council adopted Ordinance No. 121, which postponed
the next adjustrnent to January 1, 2013.
• At the July 31 special meeting on the 2013 budget, the Council
discussed Council salaries and directed staff to prepare an
ordinance to eliminate the 2013 adjustment.
• The draft ordinance is identical to the ordinance being repealed,
except that the next inflation adjustment would occur on January
1, 2015 following the November, 2014 municipal election.
Recommendation: I recommend that the Council adopt the ordinance if you wish to
postpone the adjushnent to City Council salaries.
