City manager corrects Public Works assistant director pay increase during public hearing
Summary
City Manager David Larson told the council the packet misreported the proposed increase for the Public Works Assistant Director (should be 6.8%, not 3.4%). The council opened and closed a required public hearing on executive officer salary increases; there was no public comment.
City Manager David Larson informed the South Weber City Council during a May 26 public hearing that the published packet had an incorrect percentage for the proposed salary change to the Public Works Assistant Director position. Larson said the correct figure is 6.8%, not 3.4%, because the calculation should have included reclassification of the position to exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act.
The hearing covered salary adjustments for positions the city must publicly consider under Utah Code (UCA 10-3-818), including the City Manager, Administrative Services Director, Public Works Director, Public Works Assistant Director, Recreation Director and Fire Chief. Mayor Rod Westbroek opened the hearing and the council heard no public comment before closing it. The increases discussed were presented as taking effect July 1, 2026, in the tentative budget materials. No final adoption vote on salaries was recorded at the May 26 meeting.
