Budget Officer Kerri Lang stated that city revenues have alleviated concerns over a potential $60 million deficit by 2029, indicating a healthier financial outlook.
The council faces a proposed police contract costing $218 million over five years, which includes significant pay increases but raises concerns about transparency and equity from city employees.
AFSCME 1624 criticized the proposed police contract for its lack of transparency and the potential impact on funding for essential services, stressing the need for equity across city budgets.
If approved, the contract won’t necessitate a tax rate election, according to Lang, although the final decision rests with the Council.
