Council Approves Raise For City Administrator

The Oak Creek Common Council has approved a raise for City Administrator Gerald Peterson, bumping his salary to $118,000.

Peterson, the top-paid Oak Creek employee, was hired in 2010 at a salary of $115,000. The raise is effective Oct. 18, 2012.

The employment agreement also provides for 20 days paid time off, which City Attorney Larry Haskin said in a report is consistent with other city employees.

The council unanimously approved the agreement Tuesday after meeting in closed session in October and November to evaluate Peterson's performance.
