Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly approves 3.3% COLA and 2% step increase for clerk
Summary
After a roughly 45-minute executive session in June 2026, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly approved a 3.3% cost-of-living adjustment and a 2% step increase for the borough clerk; the motion passed by voice with no objections recorded.
The Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly voted to give the borough clerk a 3.3% cost-of-living adjustment and a 2% step increase after convening an executive session to conduct the clerk's annual evaluation in June 2026.
The mayor asked the clerk whether the evaluation should occur in executive session or in public; the clerk requested executive session. Assemblymember Michael Bowles moved "to enter executive session for the subjects that tend to prejudice the reputation and character of any person provided the person may request a public discussion, in particular, to hold the annual evaluation of the clerk," and the assembly entered executive session at 4:03 p.m. The assembly exited the executive session at 4:48 p.m.
Following the executive session, Michael Bowles moved "to give the clerk a 3.3% COLA and a 2% step increase." The mayor asked if there was any discussion and, "hearing no objection, then the motion passes," indicating the motion was adopted by voice without a recorded roll-call vote.
The transcript does not record a motion second or a roll-call tally. The action appears to be a personnel compensation adjustment approved at the special meeting; no additional details about timing of the pay change, funding source, or administrative implementation were provided in the transcript.
The mayor called for parting remarks, heard none, and adjourned the meeting at 4:49 p.m.
