Frankfort Board raises employee longevity pay to 3% in unanimous vote
Summary
On second reading the Frankfort Board of Commissioners adopted an ordinance raising longevity salary adjustments for City employees from 1% to 3%, effective after June 30, 2026; probationary increases remain 1%.
The Board adopted an ordinance amending City Code Section 37.37 to increase employee longevity salary adjustments from 1% to 3%, effective after June 30, 2026. The ordinance also clarifies that probationary conclusion increases remain at 1% under Section 37.39.
Commissioner Kelly May moved adoption on second reading, Commissioner Rob Richardson seconded, and the ordinance passed by roll call vote with Commissioners Richardson, Unger, May, Smith‑Willis and Mayor Layne Wilkerson voting in favor (5–0). The ordinance was recorded as Ordinance No. 7, 2026 Series.
Why this matters: The change increases recurring salary adjustments tied to longevity for City employees and will be implemented after the stated effective date; budgetary impacts were not specified in the summary and will be handled through standard budget processes.
Next steps: Implementation will proceed per the ordinance effective date and payroll staff will apply the new longevity percentages after June 30, 2026.
