Council discusses edits to city administrator contract language on compensation and merit increases
Summary
Council reviewed Section 5 of the city administrator contract and asked staff to change wording so merit increases align with the evaluation process and what is available to other city employees; the CBA reference needs clarification.
Council examined Section 5 (compensation) of the proposed city administrator contract after staff noted inconsistent language. The staff speaker said the first two sentences tied benefits to other city employees but a later line referenced the collective bargaining agreement (CBA) without clarity: “The last sentence references the CBA, which the police chief did not give reference to the CBA. So we need to describe that.”
Council members discussed whether merit increases should be worded as "equal" or "based on evaluation and what is available to others." Staff offered to add a sentence clarifying that merit increases will follow the evaluation process and be consistent with what is available to other employees. A motion to approve the contract with that correction was recorded in the discussion.
