The city council on Thursday approved rehiring City Manager Troy Schulte.

On May 1, he will get a raise from $209,100 to $220,000 a year.

That is still below the salary of some other city managers in the area, said Councilman Scott Wagner, chair of the finance committee.

The contract is for two years but would automatically extend to four if the council does not take action after two years, Wagner said.

The action long supported by the mayor had held for weeks as some of nine new city council members held back on it.

It passed 10-0 Thursday, with three council members absent.
