A RESOLUTION APPROVING A 2017 CITY OF PRIOR LAKE ORGANIZATIONAL
HIERARCHY AND PAY STRUCTURE FOR NON-UNION EMPLOYEES
Motion By: McGuire Second By: Thompson
WHEREAS, The City of Prior Lake is a Statutory Plan B City operating under Minnesota
Statutes Chapter 412; and,
WHEREAS,
Under the “Council-Manager” form of government the direct responsibility for
personnel in all respects rests with the city manager; and,
WHEREAS, The Prior Lake City Council approves basic policies, including personnel policies,
as recommended by the city manager and exercises general oversight over
administrative activities; and,
WHEREAS, The City of Prior Lake has established jobs, job descriptions, departments, a
hierarchy for accountability purposes, personnel policies and compensation
system; and,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
The City Council desires to recruit and retain well trained, qualified and motivated
employees to accomplish the work of the city efficiently, effectively and with
customer service in mind; and,
The City of Prior Lake’s organizational structure and pay structure for non-union
employees had not been examined for a decade and may no longer be in
compliance with pay equity laws or in line with comparable communities in terms of
actual wages and earnings potential; and,
The City Council authorized the completion of a comprehensive compensation
study to review and update job descriptions, survey wages in 25 comparable cities,
and evaluate the city’s existing job classification system and master salary plan
(grades and steps) to ensure that our pay structure is consistent with the market
and compliant with pay equity requirements; and,
State Statutes and the Public Employee Labor Relations Act (PELRA) mandate
that wages and benefits for the union employees be established through good faith
collective bargaining, and so those positions will not be incorporated in the
organizational or pay structures until collective bargaining is successfully concluded
for each union group.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF PRIOR LAKE,
MINNESOTA as follows:
1. The recitals set forth above are incorporated herein.
