Plano council adopts amended police pay plan after staff correction
Summary
City staff told council an updated pay chart corrects unanticipated mid-level step changes for Plano Police Department classifications; the council repealed last year's ordinance and adopted the amended pay plan 8-0.
City staff told the Plano City Council on the dais that an updated police pay-plan chart corrects an unanticipated change in mid-level pay steps and the council unanimously approved the corrected plan.
A city staff speaker explained that steps 7–10 in the previous pay chart had been flat for several years and that staff revised those levels to be percentage-based between steps. The change produced unexpected numbers at midlevels that do not affect entry or top pay, the staff explanation said. The council was told the police department and human resources agreed that the updated figures that HR Director Victoria Winn provided earlier in the day are the correct ones to adopt.
After the explanation, the mayor opened the question for council action. A council member moved to approve item L—the repeal of the prior ordinance and adoption of the new pay plan as amended. The motion was seconded and the council voted 8-0 to approve the ordinance as amended.
The ordinance language on the record identifies the action as a repeal of ordinance 2023-9-11 and adoption of a new classification and compensation plan for fiscal year 2024–25 with effective dates reflected in the ordinance. Council members clarified that annually the prior ordinance is repealed and replaced by the new pay chart.
The council did not amend the chart on the floor; it approved the amended figures staff presented that evening. The vote completed the personnel item and the meeting moved on to other agenda business.
The council noted the amendment was technical in nature and limited to the pay-step calculations at certain midlevels; staff did not identify any additional changes to the number of positions or to top-tier pay rates. No public comments were taken on this item during the council action.
