The Grand Rapids City Commission on Nov. 5 unanimously approved three administrative items: an ordinance correcting the legal description for a portion of 411 Fuller Avenue Southeast, a salary ordinance adjusting pay ranges for non‑represented management employees, and a second salary ordinance that reclassifies parking services positions and creates a Parks Planning and Project Manager classification.

The Fuller Avenue ordinance, described by staff as a technical correction, finalizes a rezoning adopted earlier to change the northeasterly 25.74 feet of 411 Fuller Avenue SE from a traditional neighborhood low‑density residential zone to a traditional neighborhood traditional business area zone to allow a lot split and recombination for future residential development. Commissioners recorded no questions on the floor; the measure passed on a roll‑call vote with each member voting yes.

Commissioner Robbins summarized the management salary ordinance, which applies to multiple pay ranges and phases in increases effective July 1, 2025, 2026 and 2027. He said some ranges receive 5%, 4% and 4% increases over the three dates and others receive 4%, 3.5% and 3%. Robbins noted that the July 1, 2025 effective date is in the past and that affected employees will receive retroactive pay on their first paycheck after that date. The commission approved the ordinance on roll call and voted to give it immediate effect.

The second salary ordinance updated section 4.2 to reclassify the parking services supervisor and parking operations superintendent titles to align with industry standards and to create a Parks Planning and Project Manager classification. The commission approved the reclassification and the new classification on roll call and granted immediate effect.
