Redmond City Council approved a 5% Cost of Living salary increase for union employees Effective January 1, 2022, (Staff quoted 6.5% as the true rate of inflation.) Many thanks to Mayor Birney and Council for their transparency on this topic! The Council took time to ask some very good questions. In the past, union salary plans were buried in the Consent Agenda and never pulled for discussion.
Per employee visibility, the following are a few maximum salaries:
- Planner, $104,232
- Principal Planner, $131,076
- Senior Planner, $118,614
- Communications & Marketing Project Administrator, $109,164
- Senior Engineer, $141,660
- Administrative Assistant, $71,360
- Communications & Marketing Specialist, $97,824
- Environmental Sustainability Program Manager, $101,736
- Senior Building Inspector, $107,376
- Senior Accountant, $99,636
- Senior Purchasing Agent, $109,044
- Recreation Program Administrator, $104,408
Several neighbors and LWSD employees informed me they are very unhappy with LWSD salaries and benefits. So, I'm in the process of looking into District salaries. The work is not easy because the only way to find District salary information is by Public Record Request. Sadly, their Public Records site is lacking in transparency. I've been working to change this for quite some time.
