At-a-glance: Directions and near-term deadlines from July 27 work session
Summary
No formal ordinance or resolution votes were recorded. The commission set these directions: submit proposed line-item reductions by noon Aug. 5, hold a workshop Aug. 10 to review compiled proposals, present a tentative budget Aug. 19 (if bargaining numbers permit), and include commission-aide reclassification in the next reclassification docket.
This meeting produced no formal recorded votes on ordinances or resolutions. Instead, the commission provided staff direction and procedural deadlines:
• Commissioners who want to recommend cuts should submit specific line-item reductions to City Administrator Faye Johnson by noon on Aug. 5.
• Staff will compile the submitted proposals, model the programmatic impacts and distribute the compiled numbers prior to an Aug. 10 workshop; the administration said it will present a tentative budget on Aug. 19 if union-negotiation numbers allow.
• Administration will continue to negotiate with PMSA and SEIU; bargaining milestones and recertification dates were discussed publicly and may affect FY27/FY28 modeling.
• The commission reached consensus to add a commission-aide reclassification (to executive administrative assistant pay grade) to the next reclassification cycle and asked staff to return Aug. 10 to finalize titles and cost details.
Staff and commissioners emphasized that these directions are procedural and preparatory steps toward a legally required, balanced budget; no final millage-rate change or formal budget adoption took place at the July 27 work session.
