Council adopts salary ordinance formalizing wage schedule included in recently ratified contract
Summary
The City Council approved Ordinance 15-36, updating the municipal salary schedule to reflect a recently adopted collective bargaining agreement and the reclassification of a public works position.
The Gig Harbor City Council unanimously approved Ordinance 15‑36 on March 24, formalizing the city’s updated personnel salary schedule and incorporating wage changes included in a recently ratified collective bargaining agreement.
Human Resources Director Shannon Costanti told council the salary schedule in the ordinance reflects terms already adopted in the supervisors’ collective bargaining agreement and includes the reclassification of the public works superintendent to assistant public works director, a position that is unrepresented and therefore included directly on the wage schedule.
Why it matters: The ordinance codifies compensation changes the council previously authorized by adopting the labor contract as part of the consent agenda. The action updates pay rates and a reclassified position so payroll and budget records align with the negotiated agreement.
Motion and vote
Council Member Jenny Wouk moved to approve Ordinance 15‑36; Council Member Henderson seconded. The motion passed unanimously, 7–0.
Ending: The ordinance will be administered by the city’s human resources and finance departments as described in the staff report.
