Summary

Council introduced two salary ordinances proposing a 3% raise for full-time employees, a $2,000 police pay increase and a $25 monthly rise to medical reimbursement accounts; the package also includes a one-time $500 CDL training stipend for trainers.

The City Council introduced two 2027 salary ordinances (800 and 801) that would give a 3% pay increase to full‑time employees, add $2,000 to police officer pay and raise the monthly medical reimbursement by $25.

Mayor (speaker 1) outlined the proposal: "the, proposed ordinance is for a 3% raise for all full time employees and an additional $2,000 for police officer salaries." Council members asked questions about a newly added $500 payment tied to CDL training; staff said the $500 would be a one-time payment given in the year the CDL training is completed and would typically go to the trainer who conducts in-house training.

Council approved introduction of ordinances 800 and 801 by voice vote and scheduled both for adoption at the August 24 meeting.
