Council approves IBEW Local 307 wage scale, implementing 2026 pay changes
Summary
The mayor and council approved the IBEW Local 307 tentative agreement and pay scale, which staff said adds roughly 5.98% to wage costs under a stratified scale; the council moved, seconded and voted to adopt the pay scale effective July 6, 2026.
During the special session the council considered approval of the IBEW Local 307 tentative agreement and accompanying pay scale. A representative for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers said the third‑year reopener adds about 5.98% to wages overall and applies stratified increases across different pay tiers (no employee receiving less than 3% with higher percentages at top steps and up to about 8% for linemen).
A motion was made, seconded and the council voted to approve the attached IBEW Local 307 pay scale to be effective July 6, 2026. The transcript records the motion, seconds and a voice vote with no opposition recorded.
Why it matters: the agreement adjusts wages for represented employees and will alter the personnel cost base in the coming fiscal year; staff indicated the change resulted from the contract reopener process and recommended council approval.
