MOTION BY ALDERMAN DOWD FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-16-002
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
This was approved unanimously at the Budget Review Committee meeting the other night. It’s a two-year
contract covering the period of July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2017. It’s a salary increase in year one of 1.5%,
the salary increase in year two is 2% but delayed a half of year producing a 1% only increase in FY 17. The
holiday for Martin Luther King Day was added but not until the end of the two-year contract and the high
deductible medical plan was added to meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act.
Alderman Moriarty
The upcoming spending cap is looking to be 1.3% and this particular contract, the first year bottom line total
cost growth is 1.4% and in the second year it’s 1.3%. | can’t remember seeing a salary contract to come
before me in the past four years that was this low so | am going to support this. It’s within the spending cap
and | like to encourage that sort of behavior.
A Viva Voce Roll Call vote was taken which resulted as follows:
Yea: Alderman Clemons, Alderman Deane, Alderman Cookson, 11
Alderman Dowd, Alderman Caron, Alderman Siegel,

MOTION BY ALDERMAN CLEMONS FOR FINAL PASSAGE OF R-16-003
ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Moriarty
For similar reasons | am going to support this contract. There may be some subtleties about how it’s funded,
it's self-funded anyway but regardless of that the costs are reasonable and they are in the low 1%’s so I'll take
it.
MOTION CARRIED
Resolution R-16-003 declared duly adopted.
