Council adds fire‑chief compensation amendment tied to OPERS increase to tonight’s agenda
Summary
A proposal to allow inflationary adjustments to the fire chief’s salary—tied to the OPERS percentage increase and aligned with other non‑bargaining staff—was presented and added to the agenda with waiver of the 24‑hour rule.
After the Finance committee reconvened, Mary asked the committee to place an amendment to the fire chief’s compensation on the agenda for approval, proposing to tie future inflationary adjustments to the OPERS percentage increase.
"I'm asking the committee to put on the agenda ... an amendment to our fire chief compensation... allow for an inflationary adjustment to the salary range by tying it to the OPERS percentage increase," Mary said, noting the salary range has not changed since 2023 and that other non‑collective bargaining employees are tied to the same adjustment. The council moved to add the measure to the evening agenda and waive the 24‑hour rule; members approved by voice vote.
Mary said the measure would allow inflationary increases if justified and affordable going forward. The item was added to the public agenda for consideration at the regular meeting; any change to compensation will follow required public‑meeting procedures and applicable collective‑bargaining rules for covered positions.
