Analysis
This resolution amends the pay plan adopted for General Government employees pursuant to Resolution No. RS2025-1258, which approved a one year pay plan and outlined salary ranges that took effect July 1, 2025.

Eligible employees permanently assigned to the Mobile Command Unit would receive an incentive payment of $576.92 per bi-weekly pay period, beginning February 14, 2026.
Per section 12.10 of the Charter, pay plans may not be amended by the Council except by making uniform modifications of all employment grades, because the relationship between pay grades must remain the same under the Charter.
