Council adopts flex-time policy and approves 2026 pay increases for non-represented staff
Summary
The Caledonia City Council added flex-time language to the personnel policy allowing salaried employees to flex hours within a pay period (not as a PTO bank) and approved 2026 pay recommendations: 5% for department heads and 3% for the liquor store.
The Caledonia City Council on Dec. 8 adopted a personnel policy update that adds flex-time language for salaried employees and approved recommended 2026 pay increases for non-represented staff.
City Clerk/Administrator Jake Dickson introduced the flex-time update, saying it allows salaried employees to flex time within a pay period to accommodate irregular shifts or late work and is not intended to function as a paid time-off bank. The council adopted the policy on a motion by Member Bob Klug, seconded by Member Amanda Ninneman; the motion passed unanimously.
Dickson also presented the recommended 2026 pay rates for non-represented employees. The Personnel Committee recommended a 5% increase for department heads and a 3% increase for liquor store staff; Member Bob Klug moved to approve the recommendation, Member Dave Fitzpatrick seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
Council reviewed overtime reports for pay periods covering Nov. 10 through Nov. 23 but took no action on those reports at the meeting.
The personnel actions become part of the city's compensation and staffing policies for 2026; implementation details, effective dates and payroll adjustments were not expanded in the public record of the meeting.
