1. Department Head Cost-of-Wage Increases Recommended at 3.4% The Executive Committee voted to recommend a 3.4% market-movement salary adjustment for Metropolitan's four department heads (Ethics Officer, General Auditor, General Counsel, and General Manager), contingent on each receiving a "competent or better" performance evaluation. This replaces the traditional CPI-based cost-of-living approach with a cost-of-wages methodology tied to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Cost Index (ECI) for state and local government. The full Board is expected to vote on this recommendation in June 2026.
