Oakwood council unanimously approves contract amendment for City Manager Katie Smitty
Summary
Oakwood City Council voted unanimously on Feb. 2 to amend City Manager Katie Smitty’s employment contract to grant a 3.75% salary increase and raise deferred compensation from 4% to 6%, both retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026.
Oakwood City Council voted unanimously during its Feb. 2 meeting to approve an amendment to City Manager Katie Smitty’s employment contract. The resolution, introduced by Mayor Duncan and placed before council, grants a 3.75% salary increase matching the adjustment given to other city employees and increases the city’s deferred compensation contribution on Smitty’s behalf from 4% to 6% of salary. Both adjustments are retroactive to Jan. 1, 2026.
The mayor introduced the resolution and asked the clerk to call the roll; each council member recorded a "yes" in roll‑call. Council did not attach additional conditions in the meeting minutes. City staff will implement payroll adjustments and update deferred compensation settings consistent with the amendment.
Why it matters: Contract amendments for a city manager are formal personnel decisions with direct budgetary effects. The retroactive pay and increased deferred compensation will affect the city’s payroll accounting and may be reflected in near‑term budget reports.
Next steps: Implementation tasks were flagged for human resources and finance staff to update payroll records; council did not set any additional follow‑up in the meeting transcript.
