Motion for first reading of salary ordinance
4 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously approved the first reading of salary ranges for four new leadership positions: deputy city manager, community development director, library and community services director, and public works director. This administrative step allows the city to begin recruiting and hiring for these roles, though the ordinance still needs a second reading before final approval. Councilmember Willis abstained from the vote, while two members were absent. This routine personnel matter received the typical broad support that salary ordinances usually get from this council.
