Port Huron City Manager James Freed is getting another pay increase.
But the adjustment, according to other city officials, is at a total level of compensation that’s still less than past administrators or his counterparts in other communities.
Freed’s salary was more than $139,000 annually, as of last year. At a meeting on Monday, City Council members approved an amended agreement granting him a bi-weekly salary of $5,746.73, or $149,415 a year.
Mayor Pauline Repp said the roughly 7% increase came after a wage study of other managers in comparably-sized communities around the state a practice the city’s human resources department has utilized before.
