Finance committee outlines $113,100 package to fund 3.25% average pay increase for nonbargaining staff
Summary
Finance Chair Humphrey told the committee that resolution 2026 R‑23 would authorize $113,100 to permit an average 3.25% across‑the‑board pay increase for City of Green nonbargaining employees; committee discussion confirmed the increase was budgeted and that limited discretion exists to make a few individual adjustments after position assessments.
The Finance Committee on May 26 reviewed resolution 2026 R‑23, a third‑reading measure authorizing funds so the mayor can grant salary adjustments to City of Green nonbargaining employees. Committee Chair Mister Humphrey said the total amount tied to the ordinance is $113,100 and asked the administration for the expected percentage increase.
The administration stated the budgeted, across‑the‑board increase averages 3.25%. Chair Humphrey and committee members clarified that the increase is budgeted as a uniform adjustment but that limited discretion will allow small individual adjustments for position changes or redistributions; those individual assessments had not been completed and staff said they would share details with counsel once finished. A committee member asked whether past practice included additional individual raises beyond across‑the‑board increases; the administration said not this year beyond the budgeted 3.25%.
The committee indicated it would make a motion on 2026 R‑23 at the appropriate time during the regular council meeting; no committee vote on final adoption is recorded in the committee discussion.
Why it matters: the adjustment affects city payroll and was already anticipated in the city's budget process; committee members sought clarity on how discretion would be exercised and requested follow‑up information once position assessments are completed.
