<br />e\i <br /> <br />{..":: <br />~ <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />- Updating the City personnel ordinance as appropriate. <br /> <br />- Monitoring proposed and new state and <br />laws and legislation and ensuring <br />these laws...i.e., family leave law, <br />law, employee benefits for partner law, <br /> <br />federal personnel <br />compliance to all of <br />sexual preference <br />etc. <br /> <br />In order to get more information as to whether or not this <br />proposed position is unique to Elk River, I referred to the <br />Twin City Metropolitan Area Salary Survey. A copy of all of <br />the cities included in the survey is attached. Almost all of <br />the larger population cities have a Personnel Director and this <br />is not a surprise as the need for the position increases with <br />the number of employees and typically the size of the <br />community. I was mainly interested in cities that have a <br />population similar to Elk River (last column of the group five <br />suburbs). In this regard, a "quick and dirty" telephone survey <br />was completed. The results of this survey are indicated in the <br />second attachment to this memo. The survey results show that a <br />number of communities in our population range have personnel <br />directors. Also, a number of cities in our population range <br />have the Assistant to the City Manager position in charge of <br />all the personnel work for the City. Finally, the cities <br />without any notation on the attached page, had the personnel <br />work completed by a variety of city employees. The cities of <br />Andover, Stillwater, North St. Paul, and Chaska had the <br />personnel function completed by the City Administrator (or <br />manager), a Senior Accounting Clerk, or by each individual <br />department head. As with most government functions, no two <br />cities are identical and this seems to be true with personnel <br />work. <br />
