Council adopts pay and classification updates for city employees, converts two part‑time clerk posts to one full‑time role
Summary
Council approved multiple classification series and salary adjustments across represented and unrepresented groups — including public safety executive adjustments, new senior/property & evidence series, and a city clerk staffing conversion — with an estimated net fiscal impact included in the 2025–26 budget.
The City Council approved a package of classification, compensation and staffing updates affecting represented bargaining units and unrepresented groups.
Human Resources staff described consultant classification studies and negotiated MOU language. Key changes include creation of series (senior and lead levels) for community services specialist and property/evidence specialist positions, a new Fairview Park maintenance classification, title updates for several manager positions, market‑based increases for select division manager roles (neighborhood improvement, recreation and public affairs), and base adjustments for public safety executives to address compaction.
The package also included a conversion of two part‑time City Clerk concierge/office specialist roles into one full‑time Office Specialist II confidential position to improve retention. The fiscal impact across affected groups was presented, with recurring and one‑time amounts and an estimated remaining balance; staff indicated portions of the cost were already included in the adopted 2025–26 budget and retroactive payments would be covered via salary savings.
Council adopted the MOU and salary resolutions and approved the staffing conversion by unanimous vote.
