Council adopts compensation ordinance; will revisit fire chief pay
Summary
The council approved Ordinance Z1, setting police chief compensation, creating a recreation supervisor position and cleaning up recreation titles; council members asked staff to return with a review of fire chief salary steps.
The Cheney City Council approved Ordinance Z1, a compensation ordinance that establishes the police chief's salary, creates a recreation supervisor position under the supervisory union, and removes obsolete recreation titles.
Several council members raised concerns that the fire chief's pay steps did not clearly make the fire chief the highest-paid position within the fire department. Council members asked staff to analyze fire chief wages and return with options; one member said the city should "shore up the fire chief salary" before finalizing related personnel changes. The council approved the ordinance in title and summary form and instructed staff to review the fire chief pay structure in the coming weeks.
