Council hears proposals to adjust pay: targeted market fixes, step program changes and a TMRS contribution option
Summary
HR presented multiple personnel options: a 3% across‑the‑board increase, targeted market corrections for 42 positions (~$2.38M), a public-safety step/reclassification package, and consideration of increasing the mandatory TMRS employee contribution to 8% (staff estimated an employer cost today of roughly $556,743). Council asked for refined totals before adoption.
HR presented a menu of compensation choices for FY26-27: a 3% across-the-board cost (presented as the baseline), targeted market corrections to bring 42 below-market non-public-safety positions up to the 90th percentile (roughly $2.38 million), and a group of fire- and police-specific step/reclassification adjustments intended to improve retention and recruitment.
HR also brought a TMRS contribution choice that would raise the mandatory employee contribution to 8 percent; staff estimated, using the current actuarial basis, that the employer-side cost in 2026 would be about $556,743. HR reported an employee survey (108 yes, 10 no) indicating many employees favored the 8% option. Council directed staff to return with consolidated totals (12-month vs 9-month costing, benefits burden included) for the June 24 special meeting before making any commitment.
