Agenda Item Summary:
Traditionally, the City has provided a Cost of Living Adjustment each July for Non-Union employees. The last Non-Union COLA occurred on July 1, 2023. The most recently published Midwest Urban CPI indicated an increase of 2.8% for the past 12 months.

It is recommended that the wage ranges and employee salaries and wages be increased by 2.8% on July 1, 2024. This will ensure that the wages currently paid to employees and used to advertise for openings continue to reflect the regional economic realities. These inflationary adjustments are necessary in order to maintain the relevance of the wage study that was completed in 2022.

The total cost of the inflationary increases were not included in the adopted 2024 budget as the wages of several bargaining units were under negotiation before the adoption of the budget. The total cost across all funds of this proposed resolution is approximately $300,000. Should the Council approve this resolution, a supplemental appropriation for this and the inflationary adjustment for AFSCME employees will be presented to the Council in the near future.
