- The presentation recommends a 3% cost-of-living adjustment for full-time and part-time City employees.
- The proposed Public Works restructuring eliminates two former leadership salary lines, adds one new operations-supervisor role, and increases two remaining positions.
- The page shows $171,784.04 in eliminated salaries and $96,192.39 in proposed added salary cost.
- Using those salary lines, the presentation calculates $75,591.65 in estimated annual salary savings before other payroll or benefit effects.
