Committee approves parks, recycling and solid‑waste budgets with personnel changes
Summary
The committee approved parks and solid‑waste budgets after trimming temporary personnel and approving modest hourly increases for several laborer positions; solid‑waste bottom line increased modestly with accepted salary adjustments.
The Budget and Finance Committee approved the parks and solid‑waste budgets after several line‑item adjustments.
For parks, the committee considered proposed wage increases that would raise two part‑time positions to $14 an hour and one full‑time laborer to $16.50. Members discussed whether positions were currently filled; Cliff said most were filled but some were seasonal. Mister Gulley moved to reduce the temporary‑personnel line (account 168) from $30,000 to $10,000; the motion passed. Amy reported an adjusted parks bottom line of $258,418 with a green change of $11,054.
On solid waste, the committee considered a recommended salary adjustment (two full‑time laborers from $14 to $16 and part‑time increases) that produced a net line change of $73.92 and a bottom line reported by finance staff of about $751,017.07 with a green change of $7,331. After discussion about disposal fees and contract terms, the committee approved the solid‑waste package. The recycling center line and post‑closure care costs were approved as presented.
Committee members asked staff to confirm final insurance and withholding effects so the final ledger reflects all wage and benefit changes.
