This is his suggestion for pay raises:
A 9% raise doubles in 8 years; a 13% in 4.6 years.
Give 1-time $1,000 bonus to all non-public safety employees w/ a 9% salary hike. We simply can't sustain doubling our city payroll in just 4.6 years.
Due diligence is crucial. Await the new district E council member before a final vote on pay raises.
