Council approves 2025-26 compensation schedule for city employees
Summary
Detroit City Council approved resolution 2.3 authorizing the city's official compensation schedule for fiscal year 2025-26; council members asked staff to provide a list of salary ranges still pending labor negotiations.
Detroit City Council approved line item 2.3, a resolution authorizing the city's official compensation schedule for fiscal year 2025-26, after a brief discussion and a voice vote with no objections.
Council member Duhall moved approval, describing the item as "a resolution of authorization for the city of Detroit official compensation schedule for the 2025, 2026 salary and wage adjustment." The council approved the resolution without recorded roll-call votes.
Council members asked staff for a list of salary ranges still subject to ongoing labor negotiations. Mr. Corley had noted earlier that the schedule generally includes 2% to 3% wage increases for many positions and some 5% increases for uniformed positions; Denise Star, director of human resources, told staff that certain salary ranges did not increase pending the outcome of labor talks. Council requested staff provide the list of pending negotiations so members can see what remains to be settled.
Ending: The council approved the compensation schedule and attached a waiver to consider the item on the special-session agenda; staff agreed to supply a list of the ranges still under negotiation.
