Staff recommends full market pay adjustments; short‑term cost impact reduced by timing change
Staff reviewed market pay adjustments across several employee groups and said the city's comp‑philosophy is to bring pay to market levels. Jill (staff) recalculated partial‑year costs after commissioners' questions and reported the short‑term reduction from timing changes was about $36,000.

Commissioners agreed to continue policy-level conversations on compensation at ongoing finance meetings.
