Wheaton amends pay schedules for non‑bargaining employees for the 2026–27 year
Summary
Council passed O‑2026‑21 to amend pay schedules for officers, assistants and employees effective May 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, to maintain competitive ranges with peer communities; department head increases remain tied to performance review.
The Wheaton City Council approved O‑2026‑21 on April 20, amending pay schedules for officers, assistants and employees not represented by collective bargaining for the May 1, 2026–April 30, 2027 pay year. City Manager Michael Dzugan said adjustments are intended to maintain competitive pay scales with peer communities and noted department head increases are based on performance reviews rather than automatic adjustments.
The council approved the ordinance unanimously. Staff told the council that department head ranges required an additional market adjustment to reach the 50th percentile of peer communities, and that the adjustments only apply to non‑bargained positions.
