RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FY 2026/27 PAY PLAN
FOR THE CITY OF AMES, IOWA
WHEREAS, each year the City Council approves a Pay Plan that specifies pay
ranges and steps for the City’s work force. The attached FY 2026-2027 Pay Plan reflects
negotiated wage settlements with the four bargaining units shown below, as well as a
3.5% scale increase for merit employee job classifications; and,
WHEREAS, actual salary increases for merit employees are performance based
and are established by two factors – each individual’s performance rating, and positioning
within the salary ranges for each grade. Each merit job grade has a minimum, midpoint
and maximum within the pay plan. These are shown on both an annual and hourly basis;
and,
WHEREAS, funding for the various salaries was previously approved by the City
Council in the adopted FY 2026/27 Budget; and,
WHEREAS, the bargaining units’ respective across-the-board settlements are
3.5% for IUOE-Blue Collar - CyRide (E Pay Plan), 3.25% for IUOE-Power Plant (I Pay
Plan), 3.5% for IAFF-Fire (G Pay Plan), 3-3.25%, depending on position, for PPME-Police
(F Pay Plan), and 3.5% for Merit Pay Plan (C & D Pay Plan); and,
WHEREAS, unclassified job categories are adjusted proportionately with merit or
union employees or with the relevant labor market. The statutory minimum wage is
included as the scale minimum for temporary workers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ames,
Iowa, that the FY 2026/27 Pay Plan is hereby approved.
ADOPTED THIS 23rd day of June, 2026.
