The adopted budget includes a 3% salary increase effective October 2025 and an additional 2% increase effective April 2026 for all eligible employees. In addition to these increases, the city has taken steps to establish a minimum living wage of $35,360 annually ($17 per hour) for entry-level positions. To enhance the recruitment and retention of sworn public safety personnel, those employees will receive a 3% increase effective October 2025 and an additional increase of 4% in April 2026. Further, the city agreed to enhancements to the Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Pension Plan, including an increase to the maximum pension benefit and extending the Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) to eight years.
