The Indianola City Council held a work session before their most recent meeting Monday, that included reviewing a compensation study regarding city employees. City Manager Ben Reeves tells KNIA News the council has prioritized retaining city employees and not becoming a training ground for other cities. Reeves said the compensation study showed the city is taking care of their employees, and the city needs to look to the future to keep it that way.

“Ultimately the study shows that we are doing pretty good, we are taking care of our employees fairly well. There are some adjustments that are needed for some positions along the way, but there is a growth range. Virtually every single position in the city has growth potential. So some employees who are maybe capping out right now will have a greater growth potential and we will be able to better retain our employees in the future.”
