Presentation

0:05 → 7:13(7m 8s)

Sam Bruno, city auditor, presented the departments annual payroll report and five-year trend analysis, highlighting a roughly 5% increase in overtime and that overtime now accounts for about 20% of base pay. He said total overtime pay rose ~38% from FY22 to FY26 and that police, fire and DPW account for nearly 90% of overtime spending; the report breaks overtime by bargaining unit, location, and compares pay growth to CPI (about +22% over five years).
