Council adopts 7–9% pay adjustments for staff after benchmarking
Summary
Council approved salary adjustments for appointed officials and employees (recommended 7–9%), following a peer-city survey and budget review; staff said the raises can be accommodated in the FY25 budget and will take effect with the current pay period.
The council approved a resolution setting salaries and wages for appointed officials and employees that implements recommended adjustments generally ranging from 7% to 9%. Staff presented the process: the administrator surveyed pay for similar communities, reviewed job duties and performance evaluations, and assessed FY25 budget capacity. The presenter said the adjustments reflect two years without routine raises and are intended to keep pay competitive given expanded duties and required certifications.
Council members commended the staff effort and asked about timing; staff recommended annual adjustments tied to fiscal-year budgeting but noted the raises would go into effect with the current pay period. The roll-call vote was unanimous.
