Market Analysis <br />This section documents a sample of the wages provided to the employees of comparable local governmental units in Minnesota. <br />The comparable government entities identified for this study were communities with populations from 5,000 to 10,000 in the metro <br />area. <br />The City of Orono is within 20 miles of several large metro communities with populations in excess of 15,000. Orono is competing <br />for employees with west -metro communities and as such, should consider a competitive compensation scale to attract and retain <br />qualified employees that have the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide service levels expected within the community. In <br />addition, the City of Orono provides contracted services for neighboring government agencies, expanding the service base upward of <br />20,000 citizens served. These factors, coupled with the demand of specific technical positions within the City, have resulted in the <br />recommendations provided in this survey. <br />The wages of the comparable positions for the municipalities listed in Table 2 were compared with those at the City of Orono. It <br />should be noted that the governments listed do not always have the exact positions as Orono. In addition, Orono police officers are <br />represented through a collective bargaining agreement and therefore not included in this study. <br />Table 2 - Market Survey <br />The Market Survey lists government agencies that were included in standard demographics for the market analysis <br />Circle Pines <br />Mound <br />St. Francis Little Canada <br />Dayton <br />Oak Grove <br />St. Paul Park Arden Hills <br />Falcon Heights <br />Spring Lake Park <br />Victoria Waconia <br />Medina <br />St. Anthony Village <br />Lake Elmo <br />The market analysis has been adjusted to reflect comparable 2015 wages for the local governments analyzed. <br />me <br />People <br />+ProeeS& <br />Going <br />Beyonda. <br />\lumbers <br />
