EMA Director Andrew Sankey requested five line-item increases in the 2027 budget, discussed a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe paid by a FY22 Homeland Security grant, and presented a multi-year salary adjustment formula targeting a $96,024 director salary with a proposed 2027 salary of $92,532.17.
EMA Director Andrew Sankey requested increases to five budget line items and said he had taken delivery of a 2026 Chevrolet Tahoe that will be 100% reimbursed through the FY22 Homeland Security Grant awarded in 2021. Sankey asked to preserve a vehicle reserve line for unexpected vehicle expenses despite the grant reimbursement.
Sankey presented a salary-adjustment calculation using a 4% COLA and phased increases toward a target director salary of $96,024. The minutes record: "2026 Salary ($87,294.48) + C.O.L.A of 4% ($3,491.78) = 2027 Salary ($90,786.26)" and subsequent steps producing a proposed 2027 salary of $92,532.17 under the described formula.
