Council sets 2025 pay increases for nonunion staff, makes raises retroactive to Jan. 6
Summary
Council approved a 5% salary increase for nonunion employees for fiscal year 2025, adopted the town’s updated pay-classification system, and voted unanimously to make the pay raises retroactive to the pay period beginning Jan. 6, 2025.
Staff presented Ordinance 2025‑S01 to set fiscal-year 2025 salaries; the recommendation raised nonunion employee salaries by 5 percent and noted union pay increases (fire and police) were set by contract. The council approved the ordinance on first and second readings and then voted to set the effective date retroactive to the pay period beginning Jan. 6, 2025.
The council also approved Ordinance 2025‑S05 to adopt an updated pay-classification system, which defines classification categories, starting pay rates and step increases for years 1–3. Council members asked procedural questions about retroactivity and implementation; Clerk Treasurer Stonecipher and staff said payroll and administrative adjustments would follow the council’s direction.
