Location of Personnel Committee Meetings 24 The Committee discussed the possibility of relocating meetings to the larger meeting room to allow for 25 remote public participation via Zoom. Concerns were raised regarding the potential inadvertent disclosure 26 of sensitive personnel information in a recorded or streamed format. Andrews suggested a case-by-case 27 approach: when agenda items are of general public interest, the meeting would be scheduled in the larger 28 room with Zoom capability; otherwise, the current location would be maintained. The Committee reached 29 consensus to proceed on that basis. 30 31 b.

Fire Chief Mike Goldstone provided comments on the importance of 34 employer support for maintaining a volunteer fire department. 35 36 The Committee discussed and reached consensus on several revisions to the draft policy, including 37 allowing employees to respond to emergency calls without prior supervisor approval while notifying their 38 supervisor as soon as practicable; providing up to one hour of paid response time, with additional time 39 charged to PTO or unpaid leave; requiring employees to notify, rather than obtain approval from, their 40 supervisor before joining the Department; permitting the use of village vehicles to travel to the fire station 41 for emergency response while maintaining restrictions on non -emergency use; adding a non -retaliation 42 provision; and strengthening the policy's opening statement recognizing the importance of volunteer fire 43 service. 44 Action Items: 45 • Andrews to prepare a revised second draft of the Fire Department Support policy incorporating 46 all discussion points above, including: revised emergency response language, one -hour paid 47 2 Minutes of the June 23, 2026, Meeting of the Personnel Committee – Unapproved 2 compensation provision, notification-based enrollment language, clarified vehicle use provisions, 1 non-retaliation clause, and a strengthened opening statement. 2 • The revised draft to be distributed to all department managers — including Utilities Director 3 Megan — for review and comment prior to the next meeting. 4 • The revised draft to be placed on the next Personnel Committee meeting agenda for review and 5 action. 6 • Following Committee approval, the policy to be forwarded to the Village Board for action, with a 7 target of the July board meeting, given that no written policy currently exists and at least one 8 employee is actively serving under the existing informal arrangement. 9 10 7.

The purpose of the proposed policy is to formally outline expectations, eligibility, and procedures for Village employees who wish to serve as volunteer firefighters, while ensuring continuity of essential Village operations. A draft of the proposed policy is attached for review. On June 23 rd, 2026, the Personnel Committee reviewed the initial version of the policy and provided directions that the feedback discussed be incorporated into the policy. The proposed policy for this meeting (July 20th, 2026) includes the proposed feedback. Attached are the redline and regular versions of the policy for the Personnel Committee’s consideration. REQUESTED ACTION(S) Village Staff requests that the Personnel Committee review the attached draft policy and provide directions on next steps, including whether the employee handbook policy should be revised prior to submission to the Village Board for consideration. ATTACHMENT(S) 1. Employee Handbook Policy Language – “Participation - Volunteer Fire Department” a. Redline Version b. Regular Version 4 Village of Sister Bay Employee Handbook Proposed ParƟcipaƟon-Volunteer Fire Department Policy Participation - Volunteer Fire Department The Village of Sister Bay recognizes the significant community value provided by employees who serve as members of the Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Fire Department. The Village supports these volunteer e fforts and seeks to provide as much flexibility and accommoda Ɵon as possible while maintaining the safe, efficient, and conƟnuous delivery of essenƟal Village services. The Village of Sister Bay deeply values the contribuƟons of employees who volunteer with the Sister Bay– Liberty Grove Fire Department. We are proud to support these e fforts and are commi Ʃed to o ffering flexibility and reasonable accommodaƟons whenever possible, while sƟll ensuring the safe, efficient, and uninterrupted delivery of essenƟal Village services. Eligibility. Village employees are encouraged to parƟcipate in the volunteer Fire Department, provided such service does not interfere with the employee’semployees’ ability to safely and e ffecƟvely perform the essenƟal funcƟons of their Village posiƟon. Employees interested in parƟcipaƟng must obtain approval from the employee’s immediate supervisor and the Village Administrator so appropriate scheduling and safety consideraƟons may be reviewed and addressed. Employees serving as members of the Sister Bay- Liberty Grove Fire Department shall no Ɵfy their supervisor and the Village Administrator of their parƟcipaƟon so scheduling, safety, and operaƟonal consideraƟons may be discussed. Response. The Village acknowledges that emergency incidents cannot be predicted and may occur during an employee’s scheduled workday. • Emergency Response. Employees may leave work to respond to emergency fire calls. Supervisors are encouraged to be as accommodating as po ssible while ensuring that essential Village operations are not compromise d. Approval will generally be granted unless the employee’s absence would create an immediate safety concern, threaten critical infrastructure operations, or cause a failure of essential village service. Employees responding to emergency incidents during scheduled work hours may leave work without prior approval when notified by the Fire Department, provided they promptly notify their supervisor as soon as practicable. Temporary restrictions may be imposed only when the employee's absence would create an immediate threat to public safety, critical infrastructure op erations, or the continuation of essential Village services. • Use of Leave. Employees may either use upaid leave or paid time off (PTO) for response to fire calls occurring during work hours. Nothing in this section guarantees paid administrative leave for volunteer response. Employees may receive paid le ave for fire calls that require less than one hour of absence during their scheduled work time. For fire calls that extend beyond one hour, employees may use unpaid leave or available paid time off (PTO). This section does not guarantee paid leave for volunteer fire responses beyond the one-hour provision noted above. • Return to Work . Employees must notify their supervisor as soon as reasonably possible when responding to a call during work hours and provide an estimated time of return. Training, Mee Ɵngs, and Non-Emergency Ac ƟviƟes. Employees may attend fire-department-related training, drills, meetings, or community education activities outside their regular work hours without restrictions. Training during work hours requires advance supervisor approval. Supervisors are encouraged to reasonably accommodate these requests where workloads permit. Safety and Fa Ɵgue Management. Because fire response activities may occur overnight or may be physically demanding, the following applies to ensure safety in Village operations: 5 Village of Sister Bay Employee Handbook Proposed ParƟcipaƟon-Volunteer Fire Department Policy • If an employee has responded to an overnight call or incident resulting in significant fatigue, they must notify their supervisor before beginning their shift. • Supervisors may require the employee to use PTO or, if warranted for safety, allow unpaid time off. • Employees must not report for duty if their ability to safely perform their job duties may be impaired. Workers’ CompensaƟon and Liability. Under Wisconsin law, volunteer firefighters are covered by workers’ compensation while performing fire department duties; coverage is provided from the Fire Department, not the Village. This coverage applies only during official fire department activities and does not substitute for the Village’s expectations regarding attendance, communication, and safe work practices during the employee’s Village duties. Use of Village Resources. Employees may not use Village vehicles, faciliƟes, equipment, or unqualified paid work Ɵme for volunteer fire department acƟviƟes unless specifically authorized by their supervisor or the Village Administrator. Any such authorizaƟon must ensure that Village operaƟons and assets are protected and that no con flict of interest exists. When appropriate, employees may be permiƩ ed to drive Village vehicles to the fire staƟon, and they should make reasonable efforts to noƟfy their immediate supervisor of the vehicle's locaƟon. CompensaƟon and Dual-Role Considera Ɵons. The Village does not supplement or o ffset s Ɵpends, honorariums, or other compensa Ɵon provided by the Fire Department. Time spent performing fire department du Ɵes is not considered Village work Ɵme and is not eligible for Village over Ɵme, compensatory Ɵme, or benefits beyond the authority of the employee handbook policy language. . Conduct, Ethics, and Conflicts of Interest. Employees serving as volunteer firefighters remain subject to all Village policies, including the Code of Ethics, Conduct Standards, Con fidenƟality, and Drug and Alcohol-Free Workplace provisions of this handbook. Employees must avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest, including using Village employment to influence fire department decision-making or vice versa. Review and Administra Ɵon. Any ques Ɵons regarding this sec Ɵon should be directed to the employee’s immediate supervisor, who may consult the Village Administrator for clari ficaƟon. The Village Board retains authority to modify this policy in wri Ɵng in accordance with the authority to modify this policy in wriƟng, in accordance with the procedures outlined in this handbook. Non-RetaliaƟon. The Village recognizes volunteer emergency responders as a criƟcal component of public safety. No employee shall be disciplined, denied promo Ɵon, su ffer adverse employment ac Ɵon, or otherwise be retaliated against solely because of lawful par ƟcipaƟon in the Sister Bay-Liberty Grove Fire Department, a Ʃendance at emergency incidents, required training, or ful fillment of Fire Department obligaƟons, provided the employee complies with the requirements of this policy. 6 Village of Sister Bay Employee Handbook Proposed ParƟcipaƟon-Volunteer Fire Department Policy Participation - Volunteer Fire Department The Village of Sister Bay deeply values the contribuƟons of employees who volunteer with the Sister Bay– Liberty Grove Fire Department.

This has occurred, for the most part, in response to anticipated or immediate vacancies in Village positions. The agenda item for the job description review was floated in previous months and is being brought up at this meeting to discuss its purpose. Overall, it would be ideal to standardize t he job descriptions for the Village and to align the current language to the realities of those positions. Prior to putting any Village resources into this topic, the Village Staff is seeking the Personnel Committee’s direction on whether there should be a comprehensive review or ATTACHMENT(S) 1. MOST RECENT VERSIONS OF JOB DESCRIPTIONS (Hyperlink) 9 Page 1 STAFF REPORT Date: July 16, 2026 To: Personnel Committee Re: Budget: Compensation Schedule & COLA Author(s): Benjamin Andrews, Village Administrator Action(s) Requested: ☐ Ordinance ☐ Resolution ☒ Motion ☐ Receive/File POLICY ISSUE(S) “Should the Village update the employee compensation schedule and establish a cost -of-living adjustment (COLA) for wages in the 2027 budget year?” BACKGROUND INFORMATION Each year, the Personnel Committee reviews the Village’s compensation schedule and evaluates whether a cost ‑of‑living adjustment (COLA) should be applied for the upcoming budget cycle. This annual review process is consistent with committee direction from prior years, which emphasized regular evaluation to maintain wage competitiveness and ensure predictability for employees. The compensation schedule provides employees with clear expectations about wage progression, longevity increases, and overall wage structure. Committee members in prior years agreed that this method continues to be appropriate for incentivizing and retaining staff. PRIOR ACTION/REVIEW For the 2026 budget, the Village applied a 2.75% COLA based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data available at the time. In past years, the Village has typically relied on the CPI -U and the Chained CPI-U as benchmarks when determining COLA. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Historically, the Village has relied on the CPI -U and the Chained CPI -U to determine annual cost‑of‑living adjustments. The current data suggest inflation has stabilized compared to prior years, with year‑over‑year increases of roughly 3.4% –3.5%. This represents a slight uptick from 2025 annualized inflation levels (2.7–3.0%) but remains below the higher inflation environment seen in 2022 –2023. Based on past practice, using CPI -U and Chained CPI -U as reference points would place a COLA for 2027 generally in the 3.4 –3.5% range, pending final CPI releases later in 2026. 10 Page 2 RECOMMENDED ACTION(S) To prepare for the 2027 budget, staff recommend reviewing updated CPI data (CPI-U and Chained CPI-U) and continuing the past practice of using those indices as the foundation for COLA recommendations. Given that prior committees have emphasized wage stability and employee retention, maintaining a consistent indexing approach aligns with Village goals and historical precedent. ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

This decline in the all items index was the largest 1-month decrease since April 2020 when it fell 0.8 percent. Over the last 12 months, the all items index increased 3.5 percent before seasonal adjustment. The i ndex for energy fell 5.7 percent in June after rising 3.9 percent in May, 3.8 percent in April, and 10.9 percent in March. The energy index was the largest contributor to the monthly all items decrease, more than offsetting increases in other indexes including those for shelter and food. The index for food increased 0.2 percent over the month, as did the index for food at home and the index for food away from home. The i ndex for all items less food and energy was unchanged in June. Indexes that decreased over the month include motor vehicle insurance, communication, apparel, medical care, and used cars and trucks. Conversely, the indexes for recreation, household furnishings and operations, and personal care were among the major indexes that increased in June. The all items index rose 3.5 percent for the 12 months ending June after rising 4.2 percent for the 12 months ending May. The all items less food and energy index rose 2.6 percent over the year, following a 2.9-percent increase over the 12 months ending May. The energy index increased 15.7 percent for the 12 months ending June. The food index increased 3.0 percent over the last year. NOTE: The Oct and Nov 2025 data values are not available due to the 2025 lapse in appropriations. 16 - 2 - NOTE: The Oct 2025 data values are not available due to the 2025 lapse in appropriations. 1 Not seasonally adjusted.

The fruits and vegetables index decreased 0.2 percent over the month. The food away from home index rose 0.2 percent in June. The index for full service meals rose 0.4 percent, and the index for limited service meals rose 0.1 percent over the month. The index for food at home rose 2.7 percent over the 12 months ending in June. The fruits and vegetables index rose 5.3 percent over the last 12 months. The index for other food at home increased 2.4 percent, and the index for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 2.6 percent over the year. The nonalcoholic beverages index increased 2.9 percent over the 12 months ending in June, and the cereals and bakery products index rose 2.4 percent over the same period. The index for dairy and related products rose 0.4 percent over the year. The food away from home index rose 3.4 percent over the last year. The index for full service meals rose 3.7 percent, and the index for limited service meals rose 3.1 percent over the 12 months ending in June. Energy The index for energy decreased 5.7 percent in June, the largest 1-month decline since April 2020. The gasoline index decreased 9.7 percent over the month. (Before seasonal adjustment, gasoline prices also decreased 9.7 percent in June.) The index for electricity fell 1.0 percent in June. Conversely, the index for natural gas increased 0.5 percent over the same period. The index for energy increased 15.7 percent over the past 12 months due in large part to the index for gasoline rising 26.7 percent over the same period. The electricity index increased 4.0 percent over the 12 months ending in June, and the natural gas index rose 3.0 percent. A ll items less food and energy The index for all items less food and energy was unchanged in June after rising 0.2 percent in May.

The CPI reflects spending patterns for each of two population groups: all urban consumers and urban wage earners and clerical workers. The all urban consumer group represents over 90 percent of the total U.S. population. It is based on the expenditures of almost all residents of urban or metropolitan areas, including professionals, the self-employed, the poor, the unemployed, and retired people, as well as urban wage earners and clerical workers. Not included in the CPI are the spending patterns of people living in rural nonmetropolitan areas, farming families, people in the Armed Forces, and those in institutions, such as prisons and mental hospitals. Consumer inflation for all urban consumers is measured by two indexes, namely, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) and the Chained Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (C-CPI-U). The Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) is based on the expenditures of households included in the CPI-U definition that meet two requirements: more than one- half of the household's income must come from clerical or wage occupations, and at least one of the household's earners must have been employed for at least 37 weeks during the previous 12 months. The CPI-W population represents approximately 30 percent of the total U.S. population and is a subset of the CPI-U population. The CPIs are based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, fuels, transportation, doctors’ and dentists’ services, drugs, and other goods and services that people buy for day-to-day living. Prices are collected each month in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 22,000 retail establishments (department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, and other types of stores and service establishments). All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of items are included in the index. Prices of fuels and a few other items are obtained every month in all 75 locations. Prices of most other commodities and services are collected every month in the three largest geographic areas and every other month in other areas. Prices of most goods and services are obtained by personal visit, telephone call, web, or app collection by the Bureau’s trained representatives. In calculating the index, price changes for the various items in each location are aggregated using weights, which represent their importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. For the CPI-U and CPI-W, separate indexes are also published by size of city, by region of the country, for cross-classifications of regions and population-size classes, and for 23 selected local areas. Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices among cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period. For the C-CPI-U, data are issued only at the national level. The CPI-U and CPI-W are considered final when released, but the C-CPI-U is issued in preliminary form and subject to three subsequent quarterly revisions. The index measures price change from a designed reference date. For most of the CPI-U and the CPI-W, the reference base is 1982-84 equals 100. The reference base for the C-CPI-U is December 1999 equals 100. An increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services rising from $100 to $107. Sampling Error in the CPI 20 - 6 - The CPI is a statistical estimate that is subject to sampling error because it is based upon a sample of retail prices and not the complete universe of all prices. BLS calculates and publishes estimates of the 1- month, 2-month, 6-month, and 12-month percent change standard errors annually for the CPI-U. These standard error estimates can be used to construct confidence intervals for hypothesis testing. For example, the estimated standard error of the 1-month percent change is 0.04 percent for the U.S. all items CPI. This means that if we repeatedly sample from the universe of all retail prices using the same methodology, and estimate a percentage change for each sample, then 95 percent of these estimates will be within 0.08 percent of the 1-month percentage change based on all retail prices. For example, for a 1- month change of 0.2 percent in the all items CPI-U, we are 95 percent confident that the actual percent change based on all retail prices would fall between 0.12 and 0.28 percent. For the latest data, including information on how to use the estimates of standard error, see www.bls.gov/cpi/tables/variance- estimates/home.htm. Calculating Index Changes Movements of the indexes from 1 month to another are usually expressed as percent changes rather than changes in index points, because index point changes are affected by the level of the index in relation to its base period, while percent changes are not. The following table shows an example of using index values to calculate percent changes: Item A Item B Item C Year I 112.500 225.000 110.000 Year II 121.500 243.000 128.000 Change in index points 9.000 18.000 18.000 Percent change 9.0/112.500 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/225.000 x 100 = 8.0 18.0/110.000 x 100 = 16.4 Use of Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data The Consumer Price Index (CPI) program produces both unadjusted and seasonally adjusted data. Seasonally adjusted data are computed using seasonal factors derived by the X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment method. These factors are updated each February, and the new factors are used to revise the previous 5 years of seasonally adjusted data. The factors are available at www.bls.gov/web/cpi/cpi-seasonal-factors.xlsx. For more information on data revision scheduling, please see the Seasonal Adjustment questions and answers page at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal- adjustment/questions-and-answers.htm and the Timeline of Seasonal Adjustment Methodological Changes at www.bls.gov/cpi/seasonal-adjustment/timeline-seasonal-adjustment-methodology- changes.htm. How to Use Seasonally Adjusted and Unadjusted Data For analyzing short-term price trends in the economy, seasonally adjusted changes are usually preferred since they eliminate the effect of changes that normally occur at the same time and in about the same magnitude every year—such as price movements resulting from weather events, production cycles, model changeovers, holidays, and sales. This allows data users to focus on changes that are not typical for the time of year. 21 - 7 - The unadjusted data are of primary interest to consumers concerned about the prices they actually pay. Unadjusted data are also used extensively for escalation purposes. Many collective bargaining contract agreements and pension plans, for example, tie compensation changes to the Consumer Price Index before adjustment for seasonal variation. BLS advises against the use of seasonally adjusted data in escalation agreements because seasonally adjusted series are revised annually for five years. Intervention Analysis The Bureau of Labor Statistics uses intervention analysis seasonal adjustment (IASA) for some CPI series. Sometimes extreme values or sharp movements can distort the underlying seasonal pattern of price change. Intervention analysis seasonal adjustment is a process by which the distortions caused by such unusual events are estimated and removed from the data prior to calculation of seasonal factors. The resulting seasonal factors, which more accurately represent the seasonal pattern, are then applied to the unadjusted data. For example, this procedure was used for the motor fuel series to offset the effects of the 2009 return to normal pricing after the worldwide economic downturn in 2008. Retaining this outlier data during seasonal factor calculation would distort the computation of the seasonal portion of the time series data for motor fuel, so it was estimated and removed from the data prior to seasonal adjustment. Following that, seasonal factors were calculated based on this “prior adjusted” data. These seasonal factors represent a clearer picture of the seasonal pattern in the data. The last step is for motor fuel seasonal factors to be applied to the unadjusted data. For the seasonal factors introduced for January 2026, BLS adjusted 57 series using intervention analysis seasonal adjustment, including selected food and beverage items, motor fuels and vehicles. Revision of Seasonally Adjusted Indexes Seasonally adjusted data, including the U.S. city average all items index levels, are subject to revision for up to 5 years after their original release. Every year, economists in the CPI calculate new seasonal factors for seasonally adjusted series and apply them to the last 5 years of data. Seasonally adjusted indexes beyond the last 5 years of data are considered to be final and not subject to revision. For January 2026, revised seasonal factors and seasonally adjusted indexes for 2021 to 2025 were calculated and published. For series which are directly adjusted using the Census X-13ARIMA-SEATS seasonal adjustment software, the seasonal factors for 2025 will be applied to data for 2026 to produce the seasonally adjusted 2026 indexes. Series which are indirectly seasonally adjusted by summing seasonally adjusted component series have seasonal factors which are derived and are therefore not available in advance. Determining Seasonal Status Each year the seasonal status of every series is reevaluated based upon certain statistical criteria. Using these criteria, BLS economists determine whether a series should change its status from "not seasonally adjusted" to "seasonally adjusted", or vice versa. If any of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index change their seasonal adjustment status from seasonally adjusted to not seasonally adjusted, not seasonally adjusted data will be used in the aggregation of the dependent series for the last 5 years, but the seasonally adjusted indexes before that period will not be changed. For 2026, 36 of the 81 components of the U.S. city average all items index are not seasonally adjusted.

NOTE: Local area indexes are byproducts of the national CPI program. Each local index has a smaller sample size than the national index and is, therefore, subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error. As a result, local area indexes show greater volatility than the national index, although their long-term trends are similar. Therefore, the Bureau of Labor Statistics strongly urges users to consider adopting the national average CPI for use in their escalator clauses. 34 Table 5.

Since the expenditure data required for the calculation of the C-CPI-U are available only with a time lag, the C-CPI-U is issued first in preliminary form using the latest available expenditure data at that time and is subject to four revisions. Indexes are issued as initial estimates. Indexes are revised each quarter with the publication of January, April, July, and October data as updated expenditure estimates become available. The C-CPI-U indexes are updated quarterly until they become final. January-March indexes are final in January of the following year; April-June indexes are final in April of the following year; July-September indexes are final in July of the following year; October-December indexes are final in October of the following year. 35 Table 6.

For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that month the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 0.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.15 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 1-month percent change would be 0.6 percent, plus or minus 0.3 percent. 3 If the current seasonally adjusted 1-month percent change is greater than the previous published 1-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 1-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 1-month change. If the current 1-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 1-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 1-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparisons are used. For example, 0.8% is greater than 0.6%, -0.4% is less than -0.2%, and -0.2% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. 43 4 Not seasonally adjusted. 5 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base. 6 Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample. These series do not contribute to the all items index aggregation and therefore do not have a relative importance or effect. 7 Indexes on a December 2007=100 base. 8 Indexes on a December 2005=100 base. 9 Indexes on a December 1986=100 base. 10 Indexes on a December 1993=100 base. 11 Indexes on a December 2009=100 base. 12 Indexes on a December 1990=100 base. 13 Indexes on a December 1983=100 base. 14 Indexes on a December 2024=100 base. 15 Indexes on a December 2001=100 base. 16 Indexes on a December 2019=100 base. 17 Indexes on a December 1982=100 base. 18 Indexes on a December 1996=100 base. 44 Table 7.

For example, if the Food index had an effect of 0.40, and the All items index rose 1.2 percent, then the increase in food prices contributed 0.40 / 1.2, or 33.3 percent, to that All items increase. Said another way, had food prices been unchanged for that year the change in the All items index would have been 1.2 percent minus 0.40, or 0.8 percent. Effects can be negative as well. For example, if the effect of food was a negative 0.1, and the All items index rose 0.5 percent, the All items index actually would have been 0.1 percent higher (or 0.6 percent) had food prices been unchanged. Since food prices fell while prices overall were rising, the contribution of food to the All items price change was negative (in this case, -0.1 / 0.5, or minus 20 percent). 2 A statistic’s margin of error is often expressed as its point estimate plus or minus two standard errors. For example, if a CPI category rose 2.6 percent, and its standard error was 0.25 percent, the margin of error on this item’s 12-month percent change would be 2.6 percent, plus or minus 0.5 percent. 3 If the current 12-month percent change is greater than the previous published 12-month percent change, then this column identifies the closest prior month with a 12-month percent change as (L)arge as or (L)arger than the current 12-month change. If the current 12-month percent change is smaller than the previous published 12-month percent change, the most recent month with a change as (S)mall or (S)maller than the current month change is identified. If the current and previous published 12-month percent changes are equal, a dash will appear. Standard numerical comparison is used. For example, 2.0% is greater than 0.6%, -4.4% is less than -2.0%, and -2.0% is less than 0.0%. Note that a (L)arger change can be a smaller decline, for example, a -0.2% change is larger than a -0.4% change, but still represents a decline in the price index. Likewise, (S)maller changes can be increases, for example, a 0.6% change is smaller than 0.8%, but still represents an increase in the price index. In this context, a -0.2% change is considered to be smaller than a 0.0% change. 4 Indexes on a December 1997=100 base. 5 Special indexes based on a substantially smaller sample.

Schmelzer described the history of the schedule and how it provides a guide for employees to know what to expect in wages, and the potential for ad ditional increases for longevity. The committee who approved the table three years ago intended for the schedule to be reviewed annually, which is the purpose of this discussion today . The c urrent c ommittee members agreed that this method of incentivizing employee wages was appropriate. Schmelzer proceeded to discuss the option of including a cost -of-living increase (COLA) to employee wages for the upcoming budget year. In the prior year, staff were given a 2.75% COLA based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in place at the time last year’s budget was set. The April 2025 CPI report was included in the meeting packet for reference, and Schmelzer noted that it will be updated again in mid - June. The current CIP is roughly 2.3%, and Howson believes that that number will remain fairly steady in the coming year. She felt that keeping the same rate of 2.75% for budget planning for 2026 would be appropriate. It was the consensus of the committee that the 2.75% rate would be reviewed after the June CIP report becomes available. PERSONNEL COMMITTEE MEETING MINUTES Thursday, August 21, 2025 Approved CPI Update Schmelzer provided an informational update on the CPI (Consumer Price Index) adjustment that had been shared with the Finance Committee. No changes were made from the Personnel Committee's previous recommendation. No action was required as this was for information only. 54
