(KNZA)--Hiawatha city employees have been granted a pay increase for 2026.

The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved a resolution authorizing a 3 percent pay increase for all full-time employees, effective January 1st, 2026.

City Administrator Brad Scott said funding for the pay increase was included in the 2026 budget.

In separate action, the Commission adopted a resolution setting the employee pay scale for 2026.

In other business, the Commission approved the revised 2025-2029 capital improvement plan.

The purpose of the Capital Improvement Plan is to plan for and prioritize public improvement projects over the next 5 years.

The plan is subject to change and projects included in the plan still have to be approved by the Commission.

In addition, the Commission approved the re-appointment of seven members to the city Planning Commission, which also serves as the Board of Zoning appeals.

Appointed to staggering terms were Tad Rankin, Jodi Twombly, Denise Wolney, Dean Bailey, Darrin Arment, Jill Sprick and Hillary Boye.
