Westfir council OKs $23.50 hourly rate for city operator Robert Archer (Resolution 572)
Summary
Council approved Resolution 572 to raise City Operator Robert Archer’s pay to $23.50 per hour (6% with rounding) after considering budget impacts and rounding options.
Councilors voted to raise the City Operator position’s pay to $23.50 an hour under Resolution 572 after staff presented options for a straight 6% increase or rounding up to the nearest 50 cents.
Staff noted a straight 6% raise would bring the rate to $23.32 per hour, and rounding to $23.50 would modestly increase annual personnel costs (estimated $400–$600). A councilor moved to approve the rounded rate; another seconded the motion and the vote carried by unanimous voice vote.
Councilors discussed that the increase should not exceed personnel-service appropriations across the general, highway, sewer and water operating funds and that existing budget lines could absorb the adjustment.
