The League of Minnesota Cites and Association of the Minnesota Counties is delighted to announce the Local Government Salary and Benefits survey is ready for your 2024 data entry. Data entry emails with a participation link were distributed to the top appointed officials (city manager or city clerk) or the chief HR representative (if applicable) for most cities on April 1 by Gallagher Surveys.
About our survey:
- In 2023 we pivoted from an update anytime survey to a survey where each city updates their data once a year. With this process there will be a more robust data validation procedure to build greater confidence in data reliability. We would ask that you enter your data with salary and benefits information effective as of April 1, 2024.
- It is very important to update your data during the update period April 1 to May 3, 2024, as participation in the survey is required for free access. An annual fee will be charged for non-participating entities or other organizations requesting access.
- To purchase access to the 2024 survey, view the request to purchase access form (doc) or contact League HR staff for more information. (2024 access will be available to purchase mid to late June.)

- The survey tool will allow you to compare salaries and benefits of your staff to those of other city and county organizations throughout Minnesota. 2024 data should be ready mid to late June 2024.
- We are committed to making the data entry process as simple and convenient as possible, to that end Gallagher provided a survey kick-off webinar on April 3, 2024.
