Commission flags inaccuracies in budget comparison table, orders corrections
Summary
Members identified errors in the draft report's budget comparison table and directed updates to staffing costs, salary/benefit calculations, mill levy examples, and line items for commissioners and the mayor before finalization.
During review of the draft Final Report on June 22, commissioners identified multiple inaccuracies in the budget comparison table (page 36) and directed staff to correct the figures before final approval.
The Commission noted the table should account for four full‑time commissioners plus the mayor, resulting in a projected cost increase closer to $295,000 rather than the $36,000 shown in the draft. Commissioners also directed updates to salary and benefit calculations, corrections to projected cost increases, separation of the commissioners and mayor into distinct lines, and the addition of the mayor under the city manager line. The table will be revised and returned for review prior to the June 29 meeting.
