SUMMARY
Pursuant to the employment agreements between the City of Hayward and its Council-Appointed Officers (“CAOs”), subject to evaluation and performance, City Council may increase the salaries of the CAOs by resolution. The current employment agreements between the City of Hayward and the City Attorney and between the City of Hayward and the City Clerk both expired on June 30, 2025.
In February 2025, a total compensation market study was completed for the CAOs and employment agreement provisions were reviewed. If approved, new employment agreements for the City Attorney will include modifications to increase the Personal Equipment and Automobile allowance and Cost of Living Adjustments (COLAs); and the new employment agreement for the City Clerk will include salary adjustments for equity and COLAs.
