City Council Minutes <br /> August 8, 2006 <br /> Page 6of10 <br /> ---------------------------- <br /> Wages <br /> The Clerk informed the Council that the consumer price index is at 4.5% for <br /> the Midwest nonmetropolitan area. She noted that if the Council wishes to <br /> give a cost of living increase of 4.5%, the recommendation from the <br /> Consultant, Ray Niemann, is to move everyone one step which is 2.5% and <br /> add an additional 2%. Council Member Ryan suggested that the increase in <br /> health insurance premium be considered in the equation and suggested <br /> lowering the 4.5% to 4.2%. <br /> COUNCIL MEMBER RYAN MOVED TO GIVE EMPLOYEES A 4.2% <br /> INCREASE WHICH EQUATES TO ONE STEP MOVE PLUS 1.7% <br /> COLA INCREASE.
