17. City council salary survey CITY OF 1 CHANHASSEN • 690 COULTER DRIVE • P.O. BOX 147 • CHANHASSEN, MINNESOTA 55317 ' (612) 937-1900 ' ' MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Don Ashworth, City Manager DATE: June 13 , 1988 SUBJ: Elected Officials Salary Survey The City Council may wish to set 1989 Council salaries at this time. Any salary adjustment cannot, under state statute, be 1 1 effective until after the next general election following the date the adjustment was made. As such, the earliest effective date of any salary change would be November, 1988 . Again, this office would recommend that such be considered for January 1, ' 1989. It is not necessary to establish "comparisons" . However, antici- pating that the Council would want such, I have attached the "Elected Officials Salary Survey" as prepared by the League of Cities. The Council may wish to note that I have purused the ' attached sheets and checked those cities that I believe are experiencing similar growth levels/similar required Council involvement. The average of that list is significantly higher than simply using comparable city size. I have always been against the "comparable size" rationale in that a St. Anthony, Orono, Crystal, etc. , are not facing the same levels of work requirments as faced by our City.
