Council approves recommended pay adjustments for nonunion city employees
Summary
Council adopted the mayor's recommended pay adjustments for nonbargaining employees tied to a 5% bargaining-unit adjustment and a 4.4% CPI figure; council discussed role-band compression and corrected a temporary-public-works hourly rate typo to $18.40.
The council approved recommended compensation increases for nonbargaining city employees after the mayor presented a proposal based on recent bargaining-unit increases and inflation.
The presenter said the recommendation used a 5% adjustment negotiated with the bargaining unit and considered a 4.4% CPI rise this year. He described efforts to avoid compaction between supervisors and staff and noted the city judge's adjustment at about 14.8% and top positions receiving a 5% adjustment. During discussion a councilor pointed out the temporary public-works hourly rate should read "$18.40 an hour," a correction the presenter acknowledged. The council voted to approve the package.
The action covers multiple nonunion job classifications; the presenter said adjustments were applied by classification to preserve pay bands. Implementation steps and payroll timing were not detailed on the record.
