This action will set the 2025 wage and benefits for <br />City employees. <br /> <br />a. Compensation. <br />i. Market Adjustment. With the budget process, staff had reviewed non-union <br />compensation in comparison with the market. Staff had used League of MN Cities <br />annual salary survey as a basis for comparison with different factors influencing each <br />position as applicable. Staff found that majority of the non-union positions fell 6% - <br />11% under comparable market value. Staff is recommending a market adjustment to <br />the non-union positions, as shown in Exhibit C, along with the creation of two new <br />grades, Grade 20 and 21. Staff ran a pay equity report and the adjustments did pass <br />the compliance check. <br />ii. Cost of Living Adjustment. The 2025 budget has been prepared with a 3% increase in <br />the pay scale. This increase is consistent with the negotiated increases required by the <br />City's labor agreements for union personnel. <br />b. Insurance. For 2025, the City's monthly insurance contributions for both family and single <br />coverage will remain unchanged at $1,715 for family and $915 for single. Due to a drop in <br />premium, the amount paid to employees that waive insurance is to be increased to $184.32. <br />c. Mileage. The City will continue to reimburse employees at the IRS standard mileage rate in <br />2025. The 2025 rate has not been released at this time; the 2024 rate is 67 cents per mile. <br />d. Safety Shoe Allowance. The safety shoe allowance for eligible employees will remain at <br />$300 annually for 2025. This matches the amount in the Public Works union contract. <br />3.Cost: <br />The funding for these expenditures are included in the 2025 budget. <br />4.Staff Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 7524 Approving the 2025 Pay Scale and Benefits for <br />City employees. <br />AGENDA ITEM <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve Resolution 7524 Approving the 2025 Pay Scale and Benefits for City employees. <br />Exhibits <br />Exhibit A.
