Council approves consent agenda and adopts pay-schedule updates including 5% increase for police and fire chief classifications
Summary
The West Sacramento City Council approved the consent agenda (items 4–9) and adopted an update to the FY2025–26 pay schedule and benefit summary (resolution 26-20) that includes a 5% salary increase for the police chief and fire chief classifications; roll calls were recorded after staff presentations.
At the Feb. 18 meeting the West Sacramento City Council approved its consent agenda (items 4–9) and later considered and approved updates to the publicly available pay schedule for fiscal year 2025–26.
Council Member Dante Early moved to approve the consent agenda; a second was recorded and the mayor called the roll. The chair announced the consent agenda approved during that sequence of the meeting.
On item 10 the city manager summarized changes to the classification plan and benefit summary, saying the item specifically affects the fire chief and police chief classifications and recommends a 5% salary increase to address compaction and regional competitiveness. The city manager also noted that, because the item contains salary and benefit changes for department heads, Government Code 54953(c)(3) requires an oral staff report prior to final action.
Council Member Early moved to adopt Resolution 26-20 approving related budget appropriations; a second was recorded and the clerk called the roll. The meeting record shows the roll call recorded "Aye" for the listed members and the chair announced the item approved.
The staff presentation concluded that the changes are limited to the two chief classifications and that staff (Amanda and the city manager) were available for questions. No public speakers requested additional comment on the pay-schedule item prior to the recorded vote.
