Councilmembers pressed staff for clarity about a 5% pay increase that appears in the adopted budget for five direct reports to council. Hector said he had received calls suggesting the five direct reports might receive two raises; staff clarified that the 5% increase is included in the budget and scheduled to take effect Oct. 1, and that any additional changes could be considered during the regular March review and evaluation period.
