The City of Troy Personnel Committee met November 9, 2026, to consider compensation and employee benefits. Members unanimously recommended moving forward with an ordinance adjusting seasonal, part-time, and temporary pay rates for the January 1, 2027 Ohio minimum-wage increase, including a 40-cent increase to step one, and adding hourly categories for Hobart Arena event ushers and non-uniformed event security staff brought in-house. The proposal also provides a higher rate for event leads or supervisors; no emergency legislation was requested for this item. The committee discussed whether lifeguard and pool-worker wages remain competitive and whether off-duty police officers could take event security shifts, subject to applicable police regulations and the police chief’s discretion.

The committee also unanimously recommended, with emergency legislation, authorizing the Director of Public Service and Safety to enter a two-year agreement with Superior Dental Care for employee dental coverage. The benefits cooperative solicited bids every two years and received at least four proposals; Superior’s rate was unchanged from the current rate, while several competing bids increased significantly. No specific contract amount was stated.
