Council amends minutes to remove claim about 10% police pay increase; records say no added taxpayer cost
Summary
Council amended the draft minutes to strike language characterizing a pay change as "about a 10% increase for each officer" and replaced it with a statement that the increase would be at no additional taxpayer cost; the amendment was approved on voice vote.
The City Council amended draft minutes to remove a sentence stating a recent change "works out to be a 10% increase for each officer." During review of the draft minutes, a council member objected to the phrasing and moved to strike the clause. The minutes were amended to read that "this increase is at no additional taxpayer cost," language the council accepted. A council member moved and another seconded the amendment; the council approved the change on a voice vote ("Aye" was recorded). No further action on officer pay was taken in the meeting and no motion to change pay was made during the session.
