Summary

Council voted to continue discussion on salary adjustments to the next regular meeting and requested the full report and formulas be provided before action; any approved increases would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025.

Adela Cortes, Director of Human Resources, asked the council to consider a strategy for implementing salary adjustments. Council members said the attachments were not available when the agenda posted and requested the full report, formulas and background before making a decision.

Council moved and unanimously approved a continuance of the item to the next regular meeting and specified that any pay action approved then would be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2025. Cortes and councilors emphasized the need for time to review the compensation study and for staff to provide detailed calculations.

Why it matters: compensation changes affect payroll costs and employee retention across departments; council sought more information before approving retroactive pay. The motion preserves the Jan. 1 effective date should the council approve action at the next meeting.
