City Treasurer Salary Increase
At a glance
- What: Item 29 on October 13, 2026: a salary increase for the City Treasurer, together with amendments to the citywide salary schedule. State law requires an oral report of the recommendation for executive pay before final action.
- Where it stands: Approved by voice vote; Councilmembers Maple and Kaplan absent.
- Figures as heard (captions garbled): Treasurer about $301,000; Clerk $260,341.52 and Auditor $238,500 (see the Clerk and Auditor items). The schedule amendment corrects an error reported September 15, 2026: the bottom of the range for department directors and similar executives is now 28.93 percent below the top of range; maximums are unchanged.
- Clarification: Councilmember Dickinson confirmed the schedule change adjusts ranges and is not an increase for any particular person.
- Public comment: one speaker said a raise should not go to a treasurer responsible for payments if a company was paid in 2022 without a written agreement or application, and called for an investigation. Another welcomed the schedule review (the ADA-related part of her comment is under ADA Coordinator Position).
