competitive in maintaining and recruiting good professional employees and ensuring that our compensation plan is competitive with the market. Overview of the Local Government Pay Equity Act - The City's current compensation plan is also a very valuable tool in assisting the City in complying with the States Pay Equity law. The 1984 Local Government Pay Equity Act requires that the City of New Brighton and other municipalities file a pay equity report with the State of Minnesota. The law was instituted to eliminate any sex -based wage inequities in compensation for local governments. Per the Local Government Pay Equity Act, the City of New Brighton is required to submit a report to the State of Minnesota every three or four years. The City of New Brighton submitted its latest pay equity report in January of 2010 for the 2009 calendar year. Due in large part to the City's current compensation plan, the City has been able to execute its plan in a consistent manner that is unbiased and avoids the potential problems of over -evaluating or under -evaluating a position. The City of New Brighton received notification from the State of Minnesota on April 29, 2010, that the City's existing compensation pay plan is in compliance with the Local Government Pay Equity standards. To assist with the Work Session discussion, City staff has attached a copy of the City's 2010 Non -Union compensation pay plan, 2010 Union compensation pay plan, and the compensation grade level sheet.
