City Council Resolution 1985-02R1SOLUTION 1985 #2
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF
AN AGREEMENT WITH CONTROL DATA CORPORATION
WITH OTHER OTHER MINNESOTA COALITION OF OUTSTATE CITIES
ON A JOINT COMPARABLE WORTH STUDY
WHEREAS, Minnesota Statutes 471.991, et. seq. as enacted by
the 1984 Session in the Minnesota Legislature requires every
political subdivision in the State of Minnesota to establish
equitable compensation relationships among its employees; and,
WHEREAS, the 57 member cities of the Metropolitan Area Management
Association together with approximately 30 out-state cities
including members of the Minnesota Coalition of Outstate Cities
have been working to determine whether or not these cities could
jointly produce a study that would comply with the Comparable
Worth Legislation; and,
WHEREAS, a desire to approach the study jointly is based on
two primary reasons: First, the efforts among cities in their
respective areas made in comparing wages and fringe benefits.
Secondly, it was preferable for all cities to have used a common
approach in the event that the future litigation occurred; and,
WHEREAS, following extensive review and interview of professional
consulting organizations located both in Minnesota and nationally
the system proposed by Control Data Corporation Business Advisors
be recommended to accomplish the job evaluation study mandated
by state law; and,
WHEREAS, the rationale for selection of Control Data Corporation
included: First, its ability to do job evaluations on all of
the given city's positions through the use of its extensive
computer facilities as compared to the proposal to study only
bench mark jobs proposed by other consultants. Secondly, the
data offered as an end product will provide a labor relations-
personnel tool for all cities beyond what was initially anticipated
from a comparable worth study. Third, the Control Data proposal
has the ability to be updated for new positions or added responsibilities
to an existing job at nominal cost; and,
WHEREAS, based on the participation by the 57 Metropolitan Area
Management Association cities and approximately 30 out-state
cities, the cost to each city will be approximately $3,000.00
per city plus approximately $25.0.0 per employee ($1,250.00 for
50 employees).
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
MONTICELLO, MINNESOTA:
