Chickasha council approves increase to city manager's salary after executive session

After reconvening from executive session on Nov. 3, the Chickasha City Council voted to increase the city manager's salary from the stated $160,000 figure to a level described in the motion as 'in line with surrounding cities.'

A council member moved the salary adjustment in open session following the executive discussion under Title 25 O.S. a7307(B)(1) concerning employment and personnel matters. The motion was seconded and passed by roll call; the transcript records a majority of members voting yes.

Council members did not identify a specific new salary figure in the public motion beyond the description that the adjustment would place the city manager in parity with comparable jurisdictions. Staff indicated the matter had been discussed in executive session and the public motion completed the formal action.

The council did not include supplemental terms, performance targets, or effective date specifics in the public motion recorded on the transcript. The mayor and city manager's office will finalize the administrative paperwork necessary to effect the change.
