Snowflake staff present conservative tentative FY2022-23 budget, flagging wage increases
Summary
Staff presented a tentative FY2022-23 budget emphasizing conservative revenue assumptions and noting wage-rate adjustments as the largest change due to 8% inflation and competitive hiring needs, especially for the police department.
Brian Richards presented the Town of Snowflake's tentative FY2022-23 budget during the June 21 worksession, describing it as conservative and asking councilmembers to review details before the next regular meeting.
Richards said wage-rate adjustments will be the budget's largest change this year, citing about 8% inflation and a competitive job market that make retaining and recruiting employees — particularly for the police department — a priority. He urged councilmembers to direct any questions to staff for clarification before formal adoption.
Councilmembers did not vote on the budget at the worksession; the tentative budget will be available for review ahead of the next regular meeting when the council may take formal action.
