Sedan council approves $0.80 raises for employees; removes Christmas floating holiday
Summary
The Sedan City Council voted Dec. 2 to grant a $0.80 hourly raise to all employees effective Jan. 1, 2026, approved an amended employee handbook removing the Christmas Day floating holiday, and recorded there will be no employee Christmas bonuses this year.
The Sedan City Council voted Dec. 2 to approve a $0.80 hourly raise for all city employees effective Jan. 1, 2026. The motion, made by Angela Evans and recorded as seconded in the minutes, carried at the meeting held at City Hall.
Council President Adam Clark told the meeting that "there will be no Christmas bonuses this year for employees." The council also approved an update to the employee handbook that removes the Christmas Day floating holiday; the minutes record the handbook change as effective Jan. 1, 2026 (the original minutes contain a typographical year error).
The raises and handbook amendment were presented during routine personnel business following two executive sessions on personnel matters. The minutes record motions and votes but do not list a total budgetary impact beyond the approved pay-change effective date. The council recorded that the executive sessions were held under K.S.A. 75-4319(b)(1) and that no decisions were announced while the open meeting was recessed.
Next steps: the raises are effective Jan. 1, 2026, per the motion; the record does not specify projected annual cost to the city or funding source.
