Planning Commission - Regular Meeting

The Planning Commission discussed proposed changes to the Human Services Grant Program, including a new review process and multi-year funding agreements for non-profits. They also reviewed the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) strategy, identifying significant funding shortfalls for both non-negotiable and negotiable projects, and discussed potential tax rate adjustments to address these gaps. Additionally, the commission considered a new pay philosophy for city employees based on a living wage model, which would significantly increase the minimum salary and impact various positions across the city.
