Their salaries will increase to $98,000 from about $89,000, chief of staff John Chelminiak said. The analysts review and draft proposed legislation, county policy and budgets.
Officials said the positions have received only cost of living adjustments during the past few decades. The council voted 4-0. Councilman Gary Nelson said he abstained from voting because he wanted more information.
Library tax on primary ballot
Woodway residents will be asked in September whether to pay taxes for library service.
Ballots mailed to Woodway voters prior to the Sept. 19 primary will include a measure to join the Sno-Isle Library District.
Property owners would pay up to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed value. The current Sno-Isle rate in other cities is 42.3 cents per $1,000, amounting to $211.50 per year for a $500,000 home.
Woodway does not have its own library. If the measure is approved, residents would have access to any library in the Sno-Isle system.
