The Committee adopted Resolution No. 142 to revise the 2026 compensation program for non-represented city employees as aligned with the adopted budget.

The Finance Director explained the program reflects a 2.6% increase for non-represented employees and noted employees who have served at least a year would also be eligible for a single step increase on the pay scale, resulting in a pay change slightly higher than 2.6% for those individuals. When a committee member asked about a recent 0.2% social-security adjustment, staff clarified that the social-security alignment is considered on a five-year trend and will be addressed in the 2027 budget cycle because the 2026 budget is already adopted.

A member moved approval; the motion was seconded, the Chair recorded the vote as aye, and the resolution passed.
