Miramar approves 2026 comprehensive pay plan for non‑represented employees, including 3% COLA
Summary
The commission approved a comprehensive pay plan for unrepresented city employees for Oct. 1, 2025–Sept. 30, 2026, maintaining a 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment and 2% merit for satisfactory evaluations and raising the living wage to $15.87 per hour.
The City Commission of Miramar on Sept. 29 approved a comprehensive pay plan for the city’s non‑represented employees for the 2026 pay period beginning Oct. 1, 2025 and ending Sept. 30, 2026.
Kanika Stamp, director of human resources, presented temporary resolution No. 8,524. The resolution covers executive, management, professional and regular part‑time employees not covered by collective bargaining agreements. Stamp said the plan retains a 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment and a 2% merit increase for employees with satisfactory or higher performance evaluations. The plan also increases the city’s living wage to match Broward County’s rate of $15.87 per hour. The city manager recommended approval.
During discussion, Commissioner Chambers asked for clarification about retiree health‑insurance benefits for long‑service employees. Stamp replied that the retiree insurance benefit described in the pay plan applies to division directors and above based on years of service. Commissioner Chambers asked staff to examine options to make retiree insurance more equitable for long‑tenured employees who are not division directors; Stamp said the topic could be explored.
The pay plan resolution passed unanimously (5–0). The plan’s costs were included in the proposed FY2026 budget presented earlier in the hearing.
