May 27, 2003 <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />R.E: <br /> <br />Elk RiverlMunic[pal Utilities Commission <br /> <br />Elk River[ City Council <br /> <br />Compensation Package <br /> <br />Commissioner Dietz wegt over your new compensation package for Elk River Municipal <br />Utilities at our May 19, 2003 City council meeting. It included: <br /> 1. A rest-rucmring of the health and dental plan, providing increased benefits. <br /> 2. A 3.77% ,wage increase for all employees <br /> 3. A matching contribution to a 457K plan. <br />We understand that the ~'°taI package figures out to be between a 5-6% increase. <br /> The Council feels that tats increase is excessive considering the current economic times. Due to <br /> the state's problems, it'~ possible that city employees may not receive any increase on 3'anum'y I, <br /> 2004. <br /> We realize that the utiliU, es is a separate branch oftlx City, but many of us have a hard time <br /> differentiating it from t~¢ rest of the city government. <br /> The Council is ultimatel~ responsible for the Utilities Conunission and we are coukernec[ with <br /> the ramifications ofyou~ decision and axe not pleased with it. <br /> <br /> <br />
