I was glad to see that most city union employees are getting a raise (Resolutions 41-44).
While the police, fire and regular staff are getting a 6.5% COLA, council employees are getting 3.5%.
This really could have been negotiated last Fall when the administration knew there was high inflation. Instead they screwed around with a bonus before the election and now this first quarter raise.
Like I said, it is good to see this is happening as our city employees are taxpayer assets that need to be taken care of, I just don’t understand the piece meal approach.
