Livermore’s city manager and city attorney are poised to see their pay increase by thousands of dollars starting mid-November, as the council considers revising their employment contracts Monday night.
If approved, City Manager Marianna Marysheva’s yearly income would jump from $344,796 to $370,656, effective the pay period beginning Nov. 18. Her proposed raise would be from a 2.5% cost-of-living adjustment and a 5% merit increase after her annual evaluation, according to the contract amendment.
At the same time, city attorney Jason Alcala’s annual salary would go from $307,580 per year to $315,269.
In addition to boosted wages, the city would also increase its deferred compensation contributions to Marysheva and Alcala. For Marysheva, the city would contribute $576 biweekly, instead of $366 biweekly. And contributions for Alcala would be raised from $1,115 per month to $592.00 biweekly.
These considerations follow the performance reviews conducted by the council during closed session at a regular meeting on Oct. 14.
The meeting will be held on Monday (Oct. 28) at 7 p.m. at the City Council Chambers at 1016 S. Livermore Ave. It will also be streamed live on TV29. Read the full agenda here.
