The city’s overall budget asks for a wage freeze by all employees in order to be balanced, a savings of about $480,000. Union groups for fire, police and AFSCME members, along with management staff, have been approached to freeze salaries, and discussions of possible alternatives will happen by July 1.
If wages are frozen, Harrison expects to see no further cuts by attrition or retirement; if there is no wage freeze, more cuts to personnel could be made in the next budget cycle.
