What the records showRelated decisions, supporting records, and unanswered questions.
The finance records explain a salary-budget adjustment for the new city manager.
2023-2024 actual source · page 30 · 2024-2025 actual source · page 31
The FY2024–25 amendment schedule assigns a $18,000 increase to this department’s retirement account (01-0101-5144), changing its budget from $19,000 to $37,000. This is its share of the $629,000 General Fund retirement increase, not a separately verified actual payment. Department pension amendment allocation · page 119.
The audited FY2025 discussion identifies the $629,000 retirement budget increase as an additional defined-benefit pension contribution. Audited pension amendment context · page 24.
The May 7 memo attributes the salary-budget increase to the new city manager’s salary exceeding the previous manager’s salary. The attached schedule increases regular salaries by $20,000. It does not reconcile the complete annual change in the grouped Salaries row. Finance memorandum — May 7, 2025 · page 118.
The attached schedule shows the relevant proposed budget adjustments. Amounts in this schedule are appropriations, not invoice payments. Budget amendment detail · page 120.
Still unanswered: The budget allocation is documented; the actual pension postings are still needed to reconcile the annual retirement amounts and distinguish regular contributions from the additional contribution.
About these figuresWhat is included and what changed between reports.
The 2022-2023 column uses the complete later FY2025-26 account schedule; the older source column is archived. City Manager's Office division only, excluding Council, Judge, Attorney, special appropriations and education transfers. Travel groups travel expense and employee auto allowance; Retirement groups Retirement and 401A. Industrial Development is an older-only row. Surety Bonds is grouped under Liability Insurance.
Amounts are shown as reported, without adjusting for inflation. A dash (“—”) means the source shows a dash or does not list a value; it does not necessarily mean zero. Related accounts are grouped for comparison, with available detail under each row.
