Carter Lake council approves 4% pay increase for city employees; police pay follows union contract
Summary
The Carter Lake City Council approved a resolution setting salaries and wages for fiscal year July 2026–June 30, 2027, adopting a 4% across‑the‑board pay increase; police pay was not changed because it is determined by the police union contract.
The Carter Lake City Council voted to adopt a resolution setting salaries and wages for fiscal year July 2026–June 30, 2027, approving a 4% pay increase across city positions while excluding police pay because it is governed by the union contract.
Council member (speaker 6) moved to accept the budget resolution with a 4% raise across the board except for police pay; a council member seconded the motion and the council approved it by roll call. The motion recorded affirmative responses during the roll call and the resolution was adopted.
The increase applies to appointed officers and city employees listed in the resolution; the council recorded the fiscal year dates in the ordinance language as July 2026 through June 30, 2027. The council did not specify a line‑item dollar total for the wage increase during the meeting.
The resolution will be published as part of the official minutes and implemented in the next payroll cycle consistent with city payroll procedures. Staff indicated police compensation remains subject to the existing union contract and therefore was not part of this local pay change.
