Council approves pay-scale changes: police second-year increase, fire adjustments, 3% COLA for non-uniform staff
Summary
As part of the budget package, council approved a resolution updating pay scales: a second-year 10% increase for police under contract, fire pay-scale adjustments, and a 3% cost-of-living increase for non-uniform employees effective July 1, 2026.
Included with the adopted budget was a resolution to amend pay scales for police, fire and non-uniform staff. Staff said the police contract provides a second-year increase (another 10%) and the fire pay scale reflects negotiated adjustments to captain and fire marshal positions. Non-uniform employees are included in a 3% COLA for the coming fiscal year.
Council approved the resolution by roll call. During discussion, council members expressed support for moving forward with pay adjustments that reflect negotiated contracts and help retain staff.
