Council personnel committee approves 2.9% CPI pay raise; lifeguards and co‑ops exempted, some part‑time roles moved to $17
Summary
The Personnel Committee approved a 2.9% cost‑of‑living increase (CPI) for city employees effective the first pay period in May, exempting lifeguards and co‑op students and separately approving an increase to $17/hour for specific part‑time parks and utilities positions.
The Personnel Committee approved a 2.9% pay increase tied to the 2024 CPI for city employees, with lifeguards and co‑op students explicitly exempted, the committee chair announced. The motion set the effective date at the first pay period in May.
Committee members debated whether to include part‑time roles in the CPI increase, noting equity concerns where some long‑time part‑time staff could earn less than seasonal lifeguards. After discussion, the committee approved moving identified parks and utilities part‑time positions to $17 per hour and applied the 2.9% CPI increase to the remaining eligible staff.
Members asked staff to confirm the head‑count and implementation mechanics; the committee passed the motions by voice vote and adjourned. The approved changes will be implemented in payroll once administrative details are finalized.
