Coos Bay approves city manager step increase and 1.5% COLA effective Oct. 1
Summary
After an executive-session evaluation, the council advanced the city manager from step 5 to step 6 on the salary schedule and approved a 1.5% cost-of-living adjustment effective Oct. 1, moving monthly pay to $14,029 (as presented).
The Coos Bay City Council approved an adjustment to the city manager’s salary following a closed-session performance evaluation.
Nate (Speaker 10) presented salary schedule details: the city manager was at step 5 with a monthly salary of $13,164; advancing to step 6 with the adopted 1.5% cost-of-living adjustment was projected to raise the monthly salary to $14,029. Nate said the 1.5% COLA was already budgeted for fiscal year 2024–25 and that the manager had requested a reduced COLA in light of budget constraints and had declined a monthly car stipend historically associated with the position. The council moved and unanimously approved the step increase and the 1.5% COLA effective Oct. 1.
Councilors praised the manager's performance and fiscal prudence during the discussion. The action was framed as a routine personnel matter consistent with prior evaluation procedures and budgeted personnel adjustments.
Vote: motion moved and seconded and passed by voice vote.
