body

BACKGROUND:

In June of 2024, the Finance Committee requested information from staff on the ability for Korn Ferry to conduct a study of Elected Officials compensation. The Human Resources Department provided a quote of $23,940.00, which was approved by the City Council on July 9, 2024.

 

DISCUSSION:

The study surveyed cities of similar size and makeup, with a similar form of government. The peer group initially consisted of 23 cities, which was narrowed down to 10, with form of government and population receiving the most weighting in the evaluation process by Korn Ferry.

 

The report before the Finance Committee today provides the results of the survey and does not include recommendations. 

 

IMPACT STATEMENT:

Discussion and use of this information will have a positive impact on the ability for the Finance Committee to provide recommendations to the City Council in accordance with the Local Government Officials Compensation Act.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS:

N/A.
