The Niles City Council approved a 3% wage adjustment for non‑union, full‑time employees for 2026–2028. The measure passed unanimously at the Aug. 25 meeting and affects the city's non‑union pay schedule for three years.
The Niles City Council voted Aug. 25 to approve a three‑year, 3% wage adjustment for non‑union, full‑time employees covering 2026, 2027 and 2028. Councilmember Michael Thompson moved the measure and Councilmember Gretchen Bertschy seconded; the motion carried on a roll‑call vote with seven members in favor and one member absent.
Council records show the adjustment passed unanimously among those voting (Thompson, Boggs, Bertschy, Koebel, Rogers, McAfee, Weimer). The ordinance or resolution text setting the exact implementation date and budgetary offsets was not included in the meeting transcript; the council recorded the procedural approval only. The increase will be applied to non‑union pay lines as directed by city administration and charged to the appropriate personnel budgets in upcoming fiscal planning.
