?ity of <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Item 5.4. <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administ~ <br />April 1, 1996 <br /> <br />Consider Increase in Pay for Utilities <br />Commission <br /> <br />In April, 1989, the City Council increased the pay of the Elk River Municipal <br />Utilities (ERMU) Commissioners to $100 per month. This was the first <br />increase in many years, and this rate has not changed since. <br /> <br />Attached for your information is some material from the Minnesota <br />Municipal Utilities Association regarding compensation for utility boards and <br />commissions. Based on this information, it is appropriate for the Council to <br />consider an increase in the monthly payment to the ERMU Commissioners. <br /> <br />At this time the Commissioners are holding a lot of extra meetings as they <br />work through the process of replacing the general manager. Also, it is <br />possible that the commission may begin meeting on a bi-monthly basis or 24 <br />times per year versus its currently scheduled 12 times per year. This revised <br />meeting schedule has yet to be determined, but this issue is expected to <br />receive a great deal of discussion in later 1996. <br /> <br />It is suggested that the Council increase the ERMU Commissioners pay to <br />$200 per month for 1996 and 1997 and that this payment be reevaluated at <br />the end of 1997. At that time, it may be that the pay goes back down to $100 <br />per month or it could stay at the $200 level or even increase based on the <br />work load of the commission. <br /> <br />s:Xcouncil\commpay.doc <br /> <br />13065 Orono Parkway · P.O.
