Council amends 2026 wages to correct payroll error for deputy chief
Summary
Council adopted an amended wages-and-salaries resolution for 2026 to correct a payroll math error that had shorted a deputy chief about $100 since Jan. 1 and to implement scheduled wage assignments beginning with the September payroll.
Council considered resolution 2025-2062 (amended) adopting city employee wages and salaries for 2026. Staff explained the amendment addresses a mathematical error in the deputy chief’s contract that resulted in a small underpayment beginning Jan. 1. A staff member said the amount in question was 'around a $100' and that the city would make the employee whole retroactive to Jan. 1.
"It is our error. We have to go back, and make it right to him as of January 1," a staff member said. The resolution also formalized wage assignments scheduled to begin with the first payroll in September. Council voted by roll call and the resolution carried.
