Council consensus to 'fold-in' the City Manager's monthly housing stipend into his base salary for the upcoming year was attained. In addition, the Council approved a 3% increase to the City Manager's previous base salary, consistent with the 3% base salary increase budgeted for non-bargaining City employees for the 2025 Fiscal Year.
