After executive session, council approves 5% merit raise and 5% market-rate adjustment for city manager
Summary
In open session after the executive session the council approved a 5% merit increase for the city manager effective the next payroll and a separate 5% market-rate adjustment to the city manager’s base salary beginning July 1.
After the council’s executive session, a staff member reported that the council approved pay adjustments for the city manager.
Kurt reported to the council that "after the executive session today in open session, city council considered its May 13 motion, to give the city manager a 5% merit increase effective on the subsequent payroll date, and move that to her anniversary date of April 7." He added that the council also approved "a 5% adjustment ... market rate adjustment ... beginning July 1." The report described both actions as approved by the council in open session.
Why it matters: the actions change the city manager’s pay schedule and increase the manager’s base salary by two separate 5% adjustments (a merit increase and a market-rate adjustment), with the market-rate adjustment effective July 1.
