Summary
Council approved increasing the city attorney's cost-of-living adjustment from 3% to 6%, retroactive to Oct. 1, 2024; the increase was supported by council comments praising the attorney's work and a request to add a legal assistant.
Manvel — The City Council voted to increase the cost‑of‑living adjustment for City Attorney Bobby Gervais from 3% to 6%, retroactive to Oct. 1, 2024.
Before the vote, the mayor and councilmembers thanked Gervais for his legal work and recommended hiring a legal assistant to support the office. "You are a key cog in the wheel that keeps Manvel moving forward," the mayor said, and moved to approve the 6% adjustment. The motion was seconded and passed as recorded in the meeting.
The council did not provide detailed notes in the record on the fiscal impact during the public portion of the meeting; payroll and budget staff will process the adjustment through standard personnel and payroll channels.
