Board approves 3% cost‑of‑living raise and updated pay scales for city employees
Summary
The Henderson Board adopted Resolution #2025-001 to grant a 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment and to update standard pay scales and bonuses, effective June 23, 2025. The resolution passed unanimously on roll call.
City Recorder Jim E. Garland presented Resolution #2025-001, which the board described as the product of multiple months of discussions on pay scales and cost‑of‑living adjustments. The package includes a 3% COLA, updated standard pay scales for all departments, and holiday/Christmas bonus language (including a standard minimum of $150.00 based on continuous years of employment).
Ald. Barber moved to adopt Resolution #2025-001 and Ald. Phelps seconded; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote (Ayes: Barber, Butler, Maness, Phelps, Rhodes, Smith). The changes take effect with the first pay date of the new fiscal year, June 23, 2025. The resolution also preserves the Police Department’s stipends for collateral assignments as part of the pay schedule.
