Council adopts 3.2% cost-of-living adjustment for nonbargaining employees
Summary
Council authorized a 3.2% cost-of-living adjustment (CPI-U, Oct 2024) for management, supervisory and confidential nonbargaining employees, retroactive to July 1, 2025; staff estimated the cost at $270,481 and said funds were already included in the FY26 budget.
Stephanie Nagel, city attorney, presented a resolution that would authorize the city manager to adjust salary schedules for management, supervisory and confidential nonbargaining employees by the October 2024 CPI-U of 3.2%, applied retroactively to July 1, 2025. Nagel said the city had been reviewing compensation and classification matters for months and framed this adjustment as an intermediate measure while council continues work on a broader package.
Nagel estimated the cost of the COLA at approximately $270,481 and said the adjustment had been included in the FY26 budget so there would be no unbudgeted impact. Councilors asked whether the broader compensation package could be phased in; staff said that would be possible for the full package but that the current resolution is intended to approve the COLA component. A motion to approve the resolution passed unanimously on roll call.
