(The city council appreciates hearing from citizens about items of concern and desires to set aside
time during each meeting for open forum. To provide ample opportunity for all, speaking time is
limited to three minutes and topic discussion is limited to ten minutes. The mayor may, as
presiding officer, extend the total time allowed for a topic. By rule, no action may be taken on any
item brought before the council during open forum. The council may place items discussed
during open forum onto subsequent council meeting agendas.)
5. Regular Agenda
5.1 The council will consider the first reading of an ordinance amending council salaries.
The Council last updated its base salaries in 2015. The proposed ordinance would update the
base wage effective Jan. 1, 2027. This salary change would take effect after the 2026 municipal
elections and comply with MN ST § 415.11, Subd. 2. In future years, the city would then use the
June CPI-W annual percentage change to adjust salaries for the following year as part of the
annual budget.
