4. Provide opportunities for effective, timely public input on City programs and activities.
The policies of the City Commission mandate that every action item must be included in the agenda, ensuring that the public is informed and provided with a chance to provide comments.
The City holds two public hearings in September regarding the proposed annual budget.
5. Recruit & retain quality employees.
The Human Resources Department developed a competitive compensation/benefits plan to recruit and retain quality employees that will place total compensation and benefits, including pension, vacation, and sick days, in the top quartile of a weighted average of the private and public sectors in the labor market area.
The City has supplemented the annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) with an increase of $1,000 of flat pay. This is specifically designed to mitigate compression concerns that arise when both minimum wage adjustments and current employee wages are simultaneously increased.
6. Continuously improve, diversify, and expand public communication and input.
Economic Development added a new Community Redevelopment Coordinator position to assist with the CRA.
