Council replaces Payson with Casa Grande on municipal comparator list for salary benchmarking
Summary
The council voted to update the town’s comparator list for in‑house salary analysis, removing Payson and adding Casa Grande to better reflect full‑service municipal peers.
The council approved a revision to Florence’s comparator list used for in‑house salary benchmarking, removing Payson and adding Casa Grande. Staff told council the change will better align the town with full‑service municipal peers for positions such as public safety and public works ahead of the budget cycle. The manager said the market comparison is performed biennially and this year’s review will begin in time to inform the FY 2026 budget.
Council discussion noted some members’ interest in alternative comparators, such as Gilbert, but the motion as presented replaced Payson with Casa Grande and passed by majority vote.
