Colfax City Council moves city manager cost-of-living increase up a year, raises vehicle allowance by $50
Summary
At its meeting, the Colfax City Council unanimously approved shifting the city manager’s scheduled cost-of-living increase from the third to the second year of his contract and increased his vehicle allowance by $50; the council also removed purchasing authority from the employment agreement pending a separate policy.
The Colfax City Council voted unanimously to increase the city manager’s vehicle allowance by $50 and to move his scheduled cost-of-living increase from the third year to the second year of his contract. The council said the cost-of-living adjustment for the current year is 3.67%.
The decisions were reported out of closed session. Councilmembers also agreed to strike the purchasing authority clause from the city manager’s employment agreement and said that authority will be addressed by a separate policy to be adopted later.
The council took no formal action on agenda item 10d, the city manager evaluation; instead, it provided directions to staff during the closed-session report-out. There was no public comment on the report-out.
After the votes and report-out, the meeting was adjourned by mayoral consensus.
Details in the council’s report indicate the actions were procedural changes to the city manager’s contract and internal policy placement rather than additions to the city’s budget documents during the meeting record. The council did not specify a dollar total impact to the city’s budget during the report-out, and the transcript did not name individual councilmembers who moved or seconded the motions.
