Staff presented Ordinance 2026-13, the fiscal year 2027 salary ordinance, proposing a 3% pay increase for nonunion staff. The presenter said the proposed schedule reflects a three percent increase compared with FY26; the committee reviewed position listings and pay ranges.
Members asked about specific entries on the schedule. Staff clarified that some positions (for example, a substance-abuse grant-funded role and a veteran program position) are paid from grants and would not add to town payroll costs; if those grant-funded positions receive a 3% adjustment, the increase would be covered by the grant. After questions, the committee moved to recommend the salary ordinance to the full council and voted 'Aye.'
