Oakley council adopts 2% COLA and up to 2% merit option in 2026 pay scale
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025-07 approving a 2% cost-of-living increase to the pay scale and an option for up to an additional 2% merit-based increase; the resolution was adopted unanimously.
Oakley's City Council on Dec. 15 adopted Resolution 2025-07, which increases the municipal pay scale by 2% and permits up to an additional 2% merit-based increases tied to employee history or anniversaries. Staff explained the budget reflects a potential 4% increase across the board (2% COLA and up to 2% merit); the resolution updates the position classification and pay schedule accordingly.
The motion to adopt the resolution was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. Council members said this was the annual process to align pay scales with budget assumptions and to retain flexibility for merit-based adjustments.
