<br /> <br />Mayor Niedfeldt-Thomas explained unfilled positions has allowed the City to put money away. She indicated <br />she valued the City’s staff members and she wanted to prioritize employee retention. She wanted to make sure <br />the City was paying employees what they were worth. <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen reported he was supportive of the plan and noted he valued the City’s employees. He <br />stated he appreciated how the new pay plan was modernized and fresh. <br /> <br />Councilmember Abdulle indicated he was generally supportive, stating he would want to see how the <br />additional expense would be funded. <br /> <br />Councilmember Axberg encouraged the City to consider total compensation versus just viewing base pay, <br />noting there was a big difference between the public and private sector when it comes to benefits. She stated <br />she was surprised that the pay study did not address total compensation. <br /> <br /> <br />Worksession adjourned at 6:33 pm <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Terri Spangrud <br />City Clerk <br />
