BAUDETTE, Minn — The Baudette City Council had a lengthy discussion Monday night about the DDA Pay Equity Report, which looks at how city positions are evaluated and the importance of making sure local jobs are fairly and competitively compensated.

DDA Representative Tessa presented to the council and what the city needs to consider moving forward when it comes to local jobs and the pay equity report. Councilwoman Liz Weigel explains.

Weigel says the council will continue working through the details of the report and the city’s job classifications.

The council plans to hold a special meeting to take a deeper look at the point system used for each job. From there, council members will work toward wrapping up the review and determining the next steps for the city’s pay equity process.
