The Grand Junction City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to approve wage increases for the city manager, city attorney and municipal judge.
In the cityâs 2021 budget it included a 2.5% wage increase for all city employees, which included those three positions. Mayor Pro Tem Kraig Andrews explained that they first had to complete performance reviews before that raise was implemented.
âThe wage increase for eligible employees was dependent on the employee being evaluated and being rated as performing at or above expectations,â Andrews said. âBecause we determined that each of these three employees is performing at or above expectations, with the approval of this ordinance, each will be awarded a 2.5% increase starting with pay period seven of this year.â

The Grand Junction City Council discussed an implementation matrix to help it prioritize projects identified in the One Grand Junction Comprehensive Plan at its Monday workshop.
The comprehensive plan calls for the city to develop the matrix to prioritize short- to long-term projects and strategies for implementing the plan.
Council Member Phyllis Norris, whose term on the council will soon end, said she felt the incoming council should have a say in the matrix.
Norris noted that the council, which will be elected on April 6, will also be developing the cityâs strategic plan for the next two years, which may draw on the implementation matrix. Council Member Chuck McDaniel said he agreed with Norris and said the strategic planning process is a good way for new Council members to learn about the issues facing the city.
