1988 Supplement
Chapter 6
There are several differences between indepen-
dent boards and advisory boards. State statutes es-
tablish most independent boards and commissions
and give them some discretionary powers. Ad-
visory boards conduct studies and investigations
on behalf of the council and submit reports and
recommendations for council consideration. Ad-
visory board decisions do not take effect until the
council has accepted the decision by passing an.or-
dinance or resolution.
The council may organize advisory groups in any
manner it deems appropriate. The council may
find it wise to appoint people who represent
various special interest groups in the city.
An advisory commission may be an ad hoc body
which the council creates for a special purpose, to
conduct an investigation for example, and which
ceases to exist when it has fulfilled that purpose.
Some mayors appoint these bodies informally to
act as advisory groups without official powers.
Planning commissions. Cities can establish
these bodies by passing an ordinance describing
their organization and powers. 99 City officials,
such as the mayor, attorney, and engineer, are fre-
quently advisory members. The council, by a two-
thirds vote, must pass an ordinance in order to dis-
solve a planning commission. 100
Other advisory boards and commissions. Other
advisory boards and commissions that city councils
commonly establish include: industrial commis-
sions, which have power to study the ways and
means of attracting more commercial and in-
dustrial development to the city; safety councils,
which advise the council on safety programs; and
intergovernmental agencies, such as a joint plan-
ning commission, which the city sponsors in
cooperation with other units of government.
Statutory cities may create advisory boards and
commissions in any field. Cities which adopt Op-
tional Plan B may, instead of abolishing their in-
dependent boards and commissions, alter the
status of these groups to that of advisory boards
and commissions.
Citizen Committees
As government has become increasingly com-
plex, city governments have followed three trends.
One has been to use fewer independent or ad-
ministrative citizen boards and commissions. In-
stead of diffusing authority for government ad-
ministration over a number of different agencies,
many cities place all authority in the city council.
This centralizes responsibility for the proper direc-
tion of local government affairs and increases
voter understanding of government. Frequently,
this trend leads to pressures for greater simplifica-
tion and centralization in administration as well .
The council-manager form of government (Plan B)
is an answer to this pressure.
The second trend has been a greater use of
council committees and citizen advisory boards or
commissions. These assist the council by making
recommendations in specific, complex areas of
government activity.
The third trend is the increased use of ad-
ministrative assistants whose duties and functions
lie somewhere between those of a manager and
those of a clerk.
E. Meetings of the City Council
Because the council has a vast reservoir of au-
thority, and because the council can exercise this
authority only when it meets as a group, council
meetings are important to both the council and the
general public. State law provides certain
procedural requirements for council meetings. 101
Annual Meeting
(first meeting of the year)
Technically, there is no annual meeting in
statutory cities. With the biennial election system,
the reference to an annual meeting is probably in-
appropriate, but the law does require an annual
designation of an official newspaper. 102 The
council should act on or review several other items
at least annually. The term "annual meeting" often
refers to the first council meeting of each new
calendar year when the newly elected council
members take office and perform annual duties.
The statutes do not set a date for this meeting;
council bylaws usually prescribe when it will occur.
Because new council members start their term on
the first business day of January, the meeting may
take place as early as January 2. At this first
meeting, the council should perform the following:
1. Elect an acting mayor to preside in the ab-
sence of the mayor (all council members
are eligible for the office);
2. Designate an official newspaper;
Handbook for Minnesota Cities
Page 97
Elected Officials, City Councils, and Advisory Bodies
1988 Supplement
3. Select an official depository for city funds;
,r:....
f
4. Review the council's bylaws or rules of
procedure and make any necessary
changes. An amending ordinance is neces-
sary if the bylaws are in ordinance form,
otherwise a resolution or motion is suffi-
cient for this purpose.);
5. Renew all annual appointments to ad-
ministrative positions, although the prac-
tice of annual appointments for ad-
ministrative personnel is no longer
considered advisable;
6. Assign committee duties to members;
7. Approve official bonds which have been
filed with the clerk; and
8. Appoint, if the council wishes, one or more
city police officers or council members as
process servers for the coming year.
These actions may occur by resolution or mo-
tion, except that the designation of official
depositories for city funds must be by resolution
stating all terms and conditions of deposit and
filed with the clerk. 102a Ordinances are only
necessary for bylaws changes in some cities.
Regular Meetings
No statutes govern the time, place, or frequency
of city council meetings, but each council should
set the times and place for its meeting in the rules
or bylaws. The council must post or have its
regular meeting schedule available for inspection
at the city offices. 103 It should set an alternate
time for meetings when the regular time falls on a
legal holiday. Councils generally meet once or
twice a month.
City councils cannot hold meetings between 6
p.rn. and 8 p.rn. on any election day within their
boundaries. 104 Nor can they meet after 6 p.m. on
the day of a political party precinct caucus. 105
Councils usually hold meetings in the city hall
or at another place within the city. 106 The council
should hold regular meetings in the same place. If
the council holds a meeting at a time or place dif-
ferent from that in its schedule of regular
meetings, it must give public notice of the meeting
as if it were a special meeting. 107
Adjourned Meetings
City officials use the terms adjourned, con-
tinued, and recessed interchangeably. The terms
refer to meetings the council postpones to a future
time for lack of a quorum or for purposes of con-
venience, 108 and those continued to a second day
or evening to complete business left pending at the
regular meeting.
Fewer than three statutory city council members
can meet to adjourn or postpone a regularly or-
ganized meeting to a fixed future time. 109 When
the council calls adjourned meetings to complete
pending business, the council should treat the ad-
journment as a recess.
If the council announces the date, time, and
place of the adjourned meeting at an open meeting
and makes the announcement a part of the official
proceedings or minutes, no additional public notice
is necessary. I f not, the law requires a public notice
similar to that for special meetings. no
Special Meetings
"Special meeting" of the council refers to any
meeting other than a regular or an adjourned
regular meeting. The council may transact any
business within its powers at such meetings. It is
bound by its rules and by the statutory provisions
governing regular meetings, including the open
meeting law. 111
Calling special meetings is more complicated be-
cause of the 1987 addition of public notice require-
ments. These supplement, but do not replace, the
existing law that requires only notice to the coun-
cil. The council must comply with both provisions
of law.
Notice to the council
The mayor or any other two members of the
council may call a special meeting. Such a call oc-
curs by filing a written statement with the clerk
containing, as a minimum, the following: the
names and positions of the individual or in-
dividuals calling the meeting; the time and place
of the special meeting; and a request asking the

Re: Reappointment to the Shorewood PlanningCormnission
Brad Nielsen's letter,.p~obably as intended, has caused me to
give serious thought to the subject of reappointment to
Shorewood's Planning Commission. There should be reason for
a resident to want to be reappointed as well as reason for
the Council to want to reappoint. It should not occur cas-
ually.
During the six years that I have been on the Shorewood Plan-
ning Commission, the City has continued its unavoidable
development from a sleepy, rural community to a thriving
suburb. I like to think that I have played a constructive
role in assuring that that development has occurred in keep-
ing with well thought out plans and principles of urban
development.
As a member of the Planning Commission, it has been necessary
to consider diverse and often conflicting points of view
while adhering to the plans and ordinances--the instruments
through which orderly development and change occur.
When appropriate, those plans and ordinances have been
changed using due process including resident input. In some
situations, interpretations of plans and ordinances have been
required. During my participation on the Planning Commis-
sion, diverse interests have been carefully considered while
holding allegiance to the interests of the City as a whole.
In addition to the six years that I have served Shorewood, I
have seven years of experience on the City of Deephaven
Planning Commission. I have attended state-sponsored train-
ing programs presented for city planning officials. I bring
a broad perspective and a record of diligence. I take the
job ser iously..
I would like to be reappointed to the city of Shorewood's
Planning Commission. I want to have an opportunity to con-
tinue to contribute to the City's development.
Ve~r~lY yours,
~P. Schultz

1991 Pay Plan and Employee Pay Adjustments
On September ~7, ~990, the City council approved the attached Pay
Plan for 1991 and revised the policies which govern these ranges.
However, the Council did not have time to review individual
employee performance and set the compensation for each employee at
that meeting. Normally, those adjustments would be approved before
the end of the year so that adjustments may begin January l...with
the first pay period of the year.
Although we have a very full Agenda, I think this council should
make the decision on compensation as you have worked with the Em-
ployees for at least two years and are in a better position to
evaluate their performance than the new Council will be.
My reco~~endations are in line with the Pay Plan and policies you
adooted in September - exceot that I have asked that I be moved to
95%- of the top because I did not receive an adjustment in July as
promised; and, I am paid less than most A~~inistrators in Group 6
of the Stanton Survey even though I have more experience.
I therefore recommend the City council approve the following pay
rates for the employees - effective January 1, 1991:
position Rate Hourly Increase
$ ~
0
AA for parks/Asst. Clerk $26,716 $~2.84 $2,562 10.6
Receptionist/Secretary 20,062 9.65 1,462 7.8
Finance Director 39,175 3,175 8.8
Sr. Accounting Clerk 21,515 ~0.34 2,060 10.6
Planning Director 39,452 1,952 5.2
Building Inspector 30,546 2,391 8.5
AA for Planning 26,716 ~2.84 1,405* 7.0
Public Works Director 42,558 2,458 6.1
City Administrator/Clerk 46,470 3,970 9.3
* The AA for Plannning works 32 hours/week; so 80% of increase is

Memo, 1991 Pay Plan
Dec. 7, 1990
Page two
These rates reflect the new policies in the Pay Plan adopted in
september. Under the old guidelines, employees could reach the top
of the Pay Range after three years. The revisions in september
expanded that to five years. Therefore, the total increase in
compensation is lower than the estimate for salary adjustments in
the approved 1991 Budget. The total cost of these adjustments
(including the adjustment for Public Works employees) is $34,602
rather than the $42,078 budgeted.
Using the new guidelines, all of the newer employees and those who
were recently promoted will receive lower adjustments than origi-
nally proposed. This means that the Receptionist, Finance Director,
Senior Accounting Clerk, Building Inspector and Planning Assistant
will be a "step" lower than they would have been under the old
plan. I am asking that my salary be set according to the original
plan - or I, too, would be a step lower than assured last year.
I believe these adjustments provide adequate compensation for the
positions and incentive to continue the level of performance we now
have from these employees. However, I believe expanding the Pay
Ranges has a dissatisfying effect on employees who understood that
they could reach the top of the Range over three years - not five -
when they were hired or promoted. The 4.1% increase in the Pay
Ranges does compensate for this somewhat; but, it should have been
on top of the step increases that have now been eliminated.
These adjustments do keep all of the positions in line with the
requirements of the Comparable Worth statutes.
Once the annual pay adjustments are reviewed and approved, I will
consolidate the ranges, policies, and current rates into the 1991
Pay Plan.

Stover wants an accounting of the revenues obtained for Parks and what
has been spent in the Southeast Area already.
Whittaker said that $148.000 was not the only cost for Silverwood
Park.
Stover asked if they should set aside money for a future water system.
Haugen said they cannot budget for plans that are not approved.
Stover moved. Gagne seconded. to approve the addition of $10,000 to
the appropriation for the Public Works Site and $200,000 for tank
removal cleanup ( and identify this as pollution clean-up) from the
bond defeasance fund.
Motion carried - 5/0.
REVIEW 1990 PAY PLAN
Whittaker felt that individual performances should be evaluated in an
executive session but ranges should be set by the Council at this
Workshop.
Haugen asked if this pay plan gives the Council authority to set
individual salaries. Can the Council set the pay rate or will
Whittaker be setting the salaries?
Whittaker said he would have the authority only if they gave it to
him.
Brancel asked why the pay plan was a three year plan.
Whittaker said three years is the norm for cities. An employee learns
the job in three years.
Stover felt that the salaries should be tied to good performance not
to the length of time on the job.
Whittaker felt that employees want some kind of guideline for
salaries.
Brancel felt that the plan should have a beginning and ending salary
but not a middle range or they will expect to move within the range.
Haugen felt that performance is important.
Whittaker said they should identify where the range starts and ends
with a review after probation and each year after that, with raises
based on performance.
Stover asked what would happen when the top of the scale is reached.
It does not reward good people.
Stover said the Administrator does not have the authority to set
salaries but he needs guidelines. This plan is too rigid. An
employee might sue if he is not moved up.
Haugen said there have been complaints of high salaries at the City
level. Stover said they need to meet the market.
Whittaker said they needed to consider pay for comparable worth.
Whittaker said that Step 1 of the plan was for experienced people not
trainees. The City should hire trained people or it will pay to train
them.
Brancel felt that Step 1 of the starting pay was not low enough.
Whittaker said if the Council handles salaries based on finances
alone. it will have a problem. Stover said the Council has no
knowledge of each Staff member's performance.
Gagne would like the flexibility to start the employee at less.
Council members wanted to include the phrase: "After probation (6
months). the Administrator may suggest a salary adjustment."

/~ Whittaker said a lot of work went into the salary ranges: they are in
line with the Stanton guidelines and. also. a private sector salary
survey and. these figures are already one year behind.
Gagne felt that with a declining economy. they could hire people for
less. .
Whittaker said statistic indicated that there is a 4.1% increase in
wages and a 5.8% increase in inflation despite shifts in the economy.
Watten moved. Stover seconded. to approve the pay plan with the
following changes:
1. Keep the beginning and ending salary ranges but eliminate
the middle steps.
2. Note * 1 should say: The pay range is based on averages for
similar positions in cities with similar populations. number
of employees. location and job descriptions.
3. Note * 2 should say: Normally. an employee would be hired at
80% of the TOP.
4. Note * 3 should say: After probation (6 months) the
Administrator may suggest a salary adjustment.
5. Note * 4 should say: After 1 year. an employee could go to
90% of the TOP.
6. Note * 5 should say: After 3 years. an employee could go to
95% of the TOP.
7. Note * 6 should say: After 5 years. an employee could go to
100% of the TOP.
8. The last paragraph should say: Employees may move more
slowly through the range if not meeting expectations. and
move more quickly if their performance warrants it.
Motion carried - 4/1 (Brancel)
FRANKLIN DAY PLANNER SYSTEM - REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Whittaker attended the seminar and was impressed with the plan. He
felt that the department heads would benefit from attending the
seminar.
It will cost $185 each for three people to attend.
Gagne moved. Brancel seconded to send the Department Heads to the
Franklin Planning Seminar at a cost not to exceed $185 each.
Motion carried - 5/0
