JUST IN: Denver City Council approves $310,000 in raises for mayor’s appointees, including $80,000 for DIA head by rubinojc
executive director of Denver International Airport
The raises, boosting the pay of the heads of 11 departments, bring the pay rates for those positions up to median levels based on a 2021 survey of comparable cities, according to council documents. In total, the city is dedicating an extra $309,838 to those jobs this year, money that will be coming out of existing departmental budgets retroactive to Jan. 1.
The raises are the first in six years for most appointed positions in the city, according to a staff report. The director of excise and licenses got a raise in 2017 after marijuana business regulation was added to that job’s responsibilities. Appointees are not eligible for merit raises like most other city employees.
