DISCUSSION
The City Manager Pro Tern is currently paid at the top step of the former City Manager salary
range and per the Employment Agreement, the City Manager Pro Tem's salary will be adjusted
to an appropriate step within the new salary range. Based upon City Personnel Policy 3-3 Salary
Administration, the employee's salary is determined by placing it within the new range to a step
that is closest to, and above the employee's salary. Therefore, the City Manager Pro Tem's
salary will change from Step 5 ($213,113.79 annually) to Step 3 ($223,256 annually).
The former City Manager salary range is as follows:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
Annual $175,309.29 $184,071.60 $193,285.75 $202,973.85 $213,113.79
The adjusted City Manager salary range is as follows:
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5
Annual $202,500 $212,625 $223,256 $234,419 $246,140
Staff recommends this adjustment take place at the start of the next pay period which is May
16, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact to this change is $10,142.21 per year and will be absorbed by the City
Manager's Office budget.
