City Council approves 5% merit increase for city manager after executive-session evaluation
Summary
After an executive session to discuss his annual review, the City Council voted unanimously to grant City Manager Ned Spicher a 5% merit increase, effective the next pay cycle; the motion was made by a council member and seconded by a person identified as Brian in the record.
The City Council voted unanimously to approve a 5% merit increase for City Manager Ned Spicher, effective with the next pay cycle, following an executive session on his annual evaluation.
Council members first moved into Executive Session under Arizona Revised Statutes 38-431.03(A)(1) to discuss personnel matters related to the city manager’s annual review. After returning to open session, a council member said, “I motion that we approve a 5% merit increase for the city manager effective per the next pay cycle,” and the motion was seconded; the transcript records the seconder’s name as Brian but does not map that name to a distinct speaker voice. The council then called the question and announced the motion passed unanimously.
The action followed the closed deliberation authorized under state law for personnel evaluations. The council also stated that the Executive Session would reconvene at the completion of the public meeting to finish outstanding matters. No dollar figures beyond the percentage increase, no performance evaluation details, and no roll-call vote tally by named member were recorded in the transcript; the meeting minutes or staff report would be needed to provide individual council votes or further evaluation detail.
The mayor adjourned the meeting immediately after the vote.
