GALVESTON - Some city staffers this week received sizable pay raises, including a $50,000 yearly increase for the city manager.

The city council on Thursday approved salary increases for City Manager Brian Maxwell, City Attorney Don Glywasky, City Secretary Janelle Williams and City Auditor Glenn Bulgherini.

Maxwell’s salary increased from $254,048 to $300,647, an 18 percent increase.

All council members were in favor of Maxwell’s raise except District 6 Councilwoman Marie Robb.

Glywasky’s salary increased from $179,610 to $204,880, a 14 percent increase, which Robb also opposed.

“I was not opposed to giving raises to the city manager and the city attorney,” Robb said. “I just did not agree with the number.”

William’s pay rose 3 percent from $157,590 and $162,844 and Bulgherini’s salary increased from $131,325 to $135,702, also 3 percent.

All council members were in favor of the raises.
