It is too late this year to adopt an ordinance prior <br />to the election and if Council proceeds to make a change in salary it would not <br />become effective until January 1, 1989. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that he has asked Mr. Hartley to check into what would <br />be required to change Council salary properly at this time; that he had also <br />asked the previous City Administrator, Mr. Schnelle, to let Council know the <br />proper procedure and timing for making a salary adjustments; now he finally <br />gets an answer after it is too late to do anything and the next opportunity is <br />two years down the line. The AFSCME Union has no problem getting staff's <br />request for salary raises in on time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Sorteberg noted that according to the comparison of council <br />salaries in other metropolitan communities, Ramsey is currently the second <br />highest paid council and maybe a salary adjustment is not needed at this time <br />and it can wait two years. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cox stated that a council salary adjustment should be taken under <br />consideration by the Council that will be in office as of January 1, 1987. <br />October 28, 1986 <br /> <br />Page 20 of 21 <br /> <br /> <br />
