After closed session, commission approves general manager's 3.5% raise and $50,000 bonus
Summary
Following a closed session under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c), the Waukesha City Utility Commission approved a 3.5% base salary increase for the general manager for 2025 and a one-time $50,000 merit bonus for 2024; both motions were announced as unanimous.
After returning from a closed session called under Wisconsin Statutes section 19.85(1)(c), the Waukesha City Utility Commission moved to increase the general manager's base salary by 3.5% for 2025 and separately to award a one-time merit bonus of $50,000 for 2024.
Chair moved that "the general manager receive a sort of the base employee increase of 3.5% to salary in 2025." The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no opposition announced. The commission then voted on a separate motion to award a one-time $50,000 merit bonus for 2024; that motion also passed by voice vote and was announced as unanimous.
Both personnel actions were discussed in closed session; the commission announced the results in open session and recorded the votes by voice. The closed-session subject was explicitly the general manager's 2024 performance evaluation and compensation for 2025, cited under Wis. Stat. 19.85(1)(c).
The commission did not state detailed terms beyond the percentage increase and the bonus amount; staff did not provide the general manager's name or the salary baseline amount on the public record during the open session.
