Subject:
Shakopee Public Utilities Commission Salary Increase Request
Policy/Action Requested:

Adopt Resolution R2022-057 increasing the monthly Shakopee Public Utility Commission salary from $400 to $500, the Commission President monthly salary from $500 to $600 and the MMPA Representative monthly salary to $100.

Recommendation:
Approval.
Discussion:

Mr. Greg Drent, General Manager of Shakopee Public Utilities, has requested adjustment of the salaries for the commission (attached). Section 32.22 of the city code establishes the Shakopee Public Utilities Commission and specifically states that the city council has the responsibility for setting the compensation for SPU commissioners.

The action requested is to raise the monthly SPU Commission salary as follows:
- Commission salary from $400 to $500
- Commission President monthly salary from $500 to $600; and
- MMPA Representative monthly salary to $100

 

Any compensation comes from the SPU budget and not the city budget.

As noted by Mr. Drent, the SPU Commission salaries were last adjusted in 2013. Mr. Drent requests the increase take effect on 8 April 2022.

Budget Impact:
There is no impact to the city budget.
