The Stanton City Council approved the fourth amendment to City Manager Hannah Pador’s employment agreement, granting a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment and a 3.5% merit increase following a positive performance evaluation.
City staff explained the amendment and noted a typographical correction in the staff report: the salary adjustment would take effect on July 1, 2026, not July 5 as originally printed. If approved, staff said the manager’s new annual salary would be $32,244. Council members praised the city manager’s leadership during recent emergency operations and other city priorities before voting unanimously in favor.
Why it matters: The action adjusts compensation for the city’s top executive following a formal performance review and clarifies the effective date for the salary change.
What’s next: The amendment was adopted by roll call vote 5–0; staff will implement the payroll changes with the corrected effective date of July 1, 2026.
