Council advances 2026 salary ordinance to raise part‑time records pay in clerk’s office
Summary
Council introduced Ordinance 26‑28 to amend the 2026 salary ordinance and increase part‑time pay for records duties in the City Clerk’s office from $15 to $20 per hour; rules were suspended and the ordinance passed first reading by a 7‑0 vote after a suspension vote of 6‑1.
Janine Myers, the city clerk, asked the council to increase part‑time pay in the clerk’s office to $20 per hour from the current $15 to align with other city positions and to fill a part‑time opening. Myers said the fund has a balance of about $226,000 and that the position would be used for recordkeeping duties.
Council voted to suspend the rules to allow first reading during the same meeting; the suspension passed on a roll call reported as 6–1. On first reading, Ordinance 26‑28 passed on a 7–0 vote. The clerk said the increase was requested to make compensation comparable with other city roles and to enable hiring for routine records work.
