City Performance

Case Date:

What benefits are to be applicable to all employees in the upcoming year? This information is not easily available as certain programs were passed and allocated funding for apparently only a “trial basis”. Is paid parental leave still occurring? No information about this has been provided to staff or public for 2024. Additionally, where are the results of the salary study that was supposed to inform this upcoming years budget (voted on in 2023)? This information will already be behind, and the COLA is behind as it is not keeping pace with inflation or similar employers (see the County at 8.5% raise for 2024). Is any information going to be provided about how these things previously voted on by council are implemented, working, not working, etc.?

What happened to the employee clinic that had funds allocated for it to be in place by end of 2023? Yet again another example of staff being told they have x number of dollars worth of benefits when in fact that benefit does not exist or is not applicable to certain (all in this case) employees. There should be plans or information made publicly available in regard to this and yet nothing has been sent out or an update provided. When is this to be expected?
