It so happens that Administrative Services Manager Linda Waite Smith surveyed other TUG <br />cities in January of this year to find out how many provide stipends to appointed boards and <br />commissions [either compensation or stipends]. Attached is the memo she prepared regarding <br />the results of this survey. <br /> <br />In summary, she received responses from forty-two cities, of which only six [14%] provide any <br />type of compensation or stipend for boards and commission members. The compensation levels <br />range from $20 per month [City of Jordan all Boards and Commission members] to $92 per <br />month [City of Shoreview Planning Commission Chair]. <br /> <br />The 1996 Adopted General and EDA Fund budgets allow for a total of $7,395 for all boards and <br />commissions and includes the following: <br /> <br />EDC 15 meetings per year $2,175 <br />Charter 6 meetings per year -0- <br />Planning 18 meetings per year 2,610 <br />Board of Adj. 6 meetings per year 870 <br />Horse Care 6 meeting per year -0- <br />Park and Recreation 12 meetings per year 1,740 <br /> <br />As mentioned previously, the EDC generally waives the stipend each year -- but it must be kept <br />in mind that this amount of $2,175 is not available in the General Fund Budget since it is <br />budgeted from the Economic Development Authority Fund. <br /> <br />Committee Action: <br /> <br />Based on discussion [if an increase is considered - the amounts be justifiable as stipends to offset <br />"expenses" and established by resolution]. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Committee <br />Administrative Services Manager <br /> <br />FC: 05/28/96 <br /> <br /> <br />
