Council approves making library post full time and directs 4% pay-chart increase

City Council of Ingleside · September 1, 2026

Summary

Council voted to convert a part-time library position to full time and directed staff to place a combined 4% adjustment on the pay chart (3.6% + 0.4%) effective Oct. 1; finance estimated the wage-only cost at about $339,000.

In separate motions during the budget hearing, the council approved converting one existing library part-time position to full time and directed the city manager to include a combined 4% pay-chart increase effective Oct. 1.

A council member who moved the library conversion framed it as protecting a key community amenity: "That position transcends all ages," the member said, arguing the library serves children and elderly residents and recommended council cover the initial cost from discretionary funds if necessary. On pay, the finance director told the council the 4% across-the-pay-chart adjustment would cost roughly $339,000 in wages (not including payroll taxes or benefit impacts). The motions passed on roll call.
