Reinbeck council approves 2.8% COLA for city employees for FY2027
Summary
Council voted unanimously to grant city employees a 2.8% cost-of-living increase for FY2027 and directed the council to develop a merit-based pay plan for FY2028.
The Reinbeck City Council on Jan. 5 approved a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment for city employees for FY2027. Councilmember Pease moved for the increase, with Dale Wambold seconding; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote (Wambold, Pease, Johnson, Trepp and Bueghly all voted aye).
The council also directed members to develop a plan for merit-based pay in FY2028 rather than applying only automatic increases going forward. The minutes record the motion language: "Pease moved to give the city employees a 2.8% COLA increase for FY2027 and have the council come up with a plan for a merit based pay for FY2028, seconded by Wambold." The decision is an allocation within the personnel budget and will be reflected in the FY2027 wage report the clerk will publish.
