Oroville budget workshop: attendance, next steps and key decisions
Summary
At the Nov. 12 Oroville budget workshop (4:40–6:20 p.m.), councilmembers reviewed Hotel/Motel allocations, agreed to utility rate increases to be enacted by ordinance in January 2025, discussed police funding levy options, and approved employee wage increases.
The Oroville budget workshop convened at 4:40 p.m. on Nov. 12, 2024. Present were Mayor Naillon and Councilmembers Shaw, Marthaller, Hart and Moser; Councilmember Werner was absent. The workshop adjourned at 6:20 p.m. and minutes were prepared for approval and signatures by the Mayor and Clerk.
Key outcomes recorded in the workshop minutes include: a workshop-level approval of $50,925 in Hotel/Motel tax allocations for 2025; agreement to draft ordinances raising water, sewer and garbage rates by $2.00 each (to take effect January 2025 upon adoption); discussion of levy options to support police funding; and approval of a $2.00 hourly wage increase for city employees (Police Clerk Rounds to receive a $2.30 increase). Several items (including the Chamber’s requested change to a 2024 allocation) were scheduled for further action at the Nov. 19 City Council meeting or during the formal budget adoption process.
The minutes do not record motion-makers, seconds, or roll-call vote tallies for the workshop-level approvals. Staff follow-up items include drafting ordinances for rate changes and placing the Chamber’s 2024 Hotel/Motel request on the Nov. 19 agenda.
