Commission approves salary schedule change with 6% COLA and two new positions
Summary
The commission approved Resolution R‑3122, which adds a part‑time airport manager and a full‑time landscape technician to the salary schedule and applies a 6% cost‑of‑living adjustment; staff said the airport hire responds to FAA findings and the landscape technician will oversee landscaping contracts.
The Junction City Commission approved Resolution R‑3122 to update the city salary schedule, add two positions and provide a 6% cost‑of‑living adjustment.
City staff and the city manager said the resolution adds a part‑time airport manager to address deficiencies identified in a recent Federal Aviation Administration inspection and a full‑time landscape technician to manage multiple landscaping contracts and city assets. The city manager said a current part‑time expense of roughly $13,000 could be reallocated if the new airport position is filled. Staff described the landscaper technician pay range as about $22 to $30 per hour and the airport manager as roughly $18 to $22 per hour for a part‑time role.
Commissioners discussed hiring timing and whether the positions would be filled from within; staff said internal applicants would be eligible when positions are posted. A motion to approve the resolution was moved, seconded and passed by roll call.
What happens next: staff will post positions, evaluate candidates and return as needed for final hiring approvals and budget adjustments.
