Prattville council adopts updated classification and compensation plan, councilor seeks distribution detail
Summary
Council adopted a revised employee classification and compensation plan (option B) prepared by Condrey & Associates with an Oct. 4 implementation date; one councilor asked for more detail on how increases will be distributed across job classifications and stressed continued oversight.
The council voted to adopt an updated position classification and compensation plan recommended by Condrey & Associates with an implementation date of Oct. 4, 2026. The plan was presented as option B, which the council approved unanimously after discussion of process and oversight.
One councilor said they supported competitive pay for police and firefighters but requested additional information on how the plan would affect each job classification and the total cost distribution across the organization. “My concern has always been fairness and equity across the entire workforce,” the councilor said, noting they had submitted written questions in advance and appreciated staff responses but wanted remaining detail provided to the full council before implementation. Another councilor urged the body not to create scope creep into administrative HR functions, noting HR and the finance committee had already reviewed funding and administrative placement processes.
Council resolved to adopt option B while noting that HR will execute administrative placement and that council oversight will continue through established channels during implementation.
