TO: City Council <br />FROM: Joan Lattin, Assistant Finance Director <br />DATE: December 5, 1984 <br />SUBJECT: Comparable Worth Study <br />The Minnesota Legislature passed a local government pay equity <br />law earlier this year. The new law requires each local <br />government to develop a pay equity plan (comparable worth) and to <br />submit the plan to the Department of Employee Relations by <br />October 1, 1985. The Metro Area Management Assn. formed a group <br />of city managers to interview three consultants that could <br />provide a comparable worth study for the local governments. <br />C.U.C. has been retained as consultants. We are looking at a <br />cost to Orono of appruximately $4,000 to $5,000. There are <br />several features that C.D.C. is offering that will assist the <br />r_ities in +-h:s study - an evaluation report ranking their <br />specific employees based on a comparable worth study, a benchmark <br />study which would provide evaluations throughout the metro area <br />and should a city create a new position they will re-evaluate <br />that for a cost of $5 to $7. <br />I have attached a copy of the memo from M.A.M.A. regarding the <br />comparable worth study and Chief Kilbo's memo. <br />
