The League of Minnesota Cites and Association of the Minnesota Counties is delighted to announce the Local Government Salary & Benefits Survey is ready for your 2025 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 March 26 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 per year. With this process, there is 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 March 1, 2025.
- It is very important to update your data during the update period March 26 to April 25, 2025, as participation in the survey is required for free access. An annual fee will be charged for nonparticipating entities or other organizations requesting access.
- To purchase access to the 2025 survey, view the request to purchase access form (doc) or contact League HR staff for more information. (2025 access will be available to purchase mid-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. 2025 data should be ready mid-June 2025.
- We are committed to making the data entry process as simple and convenient as possible, to that end Gallagher will provide a survey kick-off webinar on April 2, 2025, at 10 a.m. A link to this webinar was sent out by Gallagher Surveys in the data entry email sent on March 26. If you are not able to attend this webinar, please note this session will be recorded and posted on this webpage.
- Please contact Jessica Nikunen (jessica_nikunen@ajg.com) or Thomas Cummins (thomas_cummins@ajg.com) for a link to the kick-off webinar or with questions regarding the salary and benefits survey.
