Council summarizes closed-session review of city administrator and reports consensus on 3% raise
Summary
The council accepted a summary of a Feb. 3 closed session evaluating the city administrator and reported that members reached consensus on a 3% raise; the effective date was discussed but not specified in the public summary.
The Crookston City Council heard a public summary of a Feb. 3 closed session that evaluated the city administrator's performance and, according to the summary presented by City Attorney Tanner Holton, reached consensus on a 3% raise for the city administrator.
"This is a summary of the closed session from 02/03/2025, which was an evaluation, into the city administrator's performance," City Attorney Tanner Holton said as he read the public summary. Holton said the closed-session discussion included why the evaluation and raise were discussed at a six-month review rather than at an annual review and that council members compared cost-of-living adjustments used by various entities.
Holton told the council that the group ultimately reached consensus on a 3% raise and that members briefly discussed the effective date for the raise; the publicly read summary did not specify a final effective date.
The public summary was presented under agenda item 7.06. The council did not record a formal public vote on the effective date in the meeting record excerpt; the presentation was a reported summary of the earlier closed-session evaluation and its outcome as described by the city attorney.
