For 2025, the pay scales will receive a two percent across the board increase, unless the minimum or the maximum salary for any position in 2022 was 11 percent above the agreed upon results of the wage survey. In that instance, if the minimum and/or maximum salary is already 11 percent above the wage survey, then the minimum and/or maximum salary will be frozen for 2025. Each pay step in the pay plan for the position will be readjusted to reflect an equal dollar increase between steps. For 2026, the pay scales will receive a four percent across the board increase, except that the city and CMPTEC revised the minimum and maximum pay steps for certain classifications that the city and CMPTEC agreed to evaluate. Those positions were evaluated by looking at comparable city data. Since the parties relied on 2025 data, the minimum and maximum pay steps were compiled for 2026. The pay scales for the identified classifications and all those that were not studied, will receive a four percent across the board increase, except for the classification of city maintenance supervisor. The city maintenance supervisor was being paid significantly higher than the comparable city data and will receive a two percent across the board increase. Each pay step in the pay plan for the position will be readjusted to reflect an equal dollar increase between steps. Individual employees in the classifications that were examined, were placed as agreed to between the city and CMPTEC. For 2027, the pay scales will receive a three percent across the board increase, except for the classification of city maintenance supervisor which will receive a 1.5 percent across the board increase. Each pay step in the pay plan for the position will be readjusted to reflect an equal dollar increase between steps. For 2028, the pay scales will receive a three percent across the board increase, except for the classification of city maintenance supervisor which will receive a 1.5 percent across the board increase. Each pay step in the pay plan for the position will be readjusted to reflect an equal dollar increase between steps. For 2029, the pay scales will receive a three percent across the board increase, except for the classification of city maintenance supervisor which will receive a 1.5 percent across the board increase. Each pay step in the pay plan for the position will be readjusted to reflect an equal dollar increase between steps. (Ord. No. 35625, § 1, 6-19-01; Ord. No. 40253, § 7, 2-3-15; Ord.
