Winfield council approves 3% pay increase for city employees, 4-1
Summary
On Aug. 14 the Winfield City Council approved a 3% pay increase for city employees in a 4-1 vote; the council also adopted Resolution 04-2025 setting employee salaries. Council member Randy Redlinger cast the lone no vote.
The Winfield City Council approved a 3% pay increase for city employees at its Aug. 14 meeting, passing the measure 4-1. The motion to approve the raise was made by Council member Jennifer Lemke and seconded by Council member David Pieart; Council member Randy Redlinger voted no.
The council earlier adopted Resolution 04-2025, described in the meeting as the resolution setting employee salaries, on a motion from Lemke with Matt Hernandez seconding. That resolution passed unanimously before the separate vote on the 3% increase.
Supporters said the action formalizes salary adjustments for municipal staff; no dollar totals or budget reallocation details were provided in the meeting record. The transcript does not indicate that the council tied the increase to a specific funding source or budget line item.
The council’s approval followed routine agenda business and was one of several personnel items the body addressed during the meeting. The council did not specify an effective date for the raise in the audio transcript provided.
The next regular council session is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2024, where any implementation details or related budget actions could appear on a future agenda.
