Committee approves ordinance amendment to implement modernized employee compensation plan, refers measure to full board

A committee of the Manchester Board Mayor & Aldermen voted to approve an ordinance amendment to Chapter 33 of the city Code of Ordinances to implement a modernized employee compensation plan effective July 1, 2025, and to remove or change obsolete sections.

The action, described in the meeting as “Item 1,” cleared the committee by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tally in the transcript. Committee members then approved sending the ordinance to the full board for formal referral to the Committee on Accounts Enrollment and Revenue Administration.

The ordinance text discussed in committee amends Chapter 33, Human Resources, of the Manchester Code of Ordinances and specifies an implementation date of July 1, 2025. The committee record in the transcript does not include an ordinance number, a detailed vote tally, or the full text of the amendments.

Roll call at the start of the meeting showed Chairman Kantor and Aldermen Levasseur, Morgan, Berry and Fajardo present. The committee’s approval consisted of a motion that was seconded and announced in the meeting as approved; the transcript records no individual vote names or counts for the motion.

Next steps recorded in the meeting: the committee’s action will be placed on the full board agenda for the Manchester Board Mayor & Aldermen so the board may approve the referral to the Committee on Accounts Enrollment and Revenue Administration. The transcript does not record additional debate, amendments to the ordinance language, or a timetable for final passage by the full board.

The committee meeting segment addressing this item began with the reading or description of Item 1 as an ordinance amendment to Chapter 33 and concluded with the committee approving the motion and confirming the referral to the full board.
