During the Morris City Council meeting on November 26, 2024, a significant decision was made regarding wage adjustments for non-union employees. The council moved to approve the recommendations from Abdo, Grama, and Dale, which will impact the wage and salary structure for the upcoming budget phases.

Council members discussed the implementation of these changes, confirming that the adjustments for phases one and two will be included in the budget. However, it was noted that the current wage and subscale will remain unchanged until 2025.

The motion to approve the wage adjustments was met with unanimous support, as council members voted in favor, including Council Member Solvay Miller and Mayor Waller. This decision marks a crucial step in addressing employee compensation within the city, reflecting the council's commitment to fair wages for its workforce.

As the council prepares for the next budget cycle, the approved changes are expected to enhance employee satisfaction and retention, setting a positive tone for future discussions on city staffing and resources.
