“Don't you think it's more logical to put all this information into the annual review of the handbook instead of making contributions through the year? It just seems like it's very confusing for the employees. to be able to know what is the real reason now. We have to go look for, see if there's a new book or a new input to the book. It just seems to me like logical to update it once a year.”

“Your Honor, I have one further comment that seems to be overlooked most of the time. When we say there's a wage, let's say $142,000, which is the number that we're talking about tonight, we say that's the number. We fail to point out that that also gets additional benefits. So by the time you get done adding additional benefits to that salary, it's going to be $160,000, not $142,000. So everyone that gets a wage from the city gets a benefit package that elevates their income, and the city has to pay it. We have no choice. So every time we pick a salary, we also have to pick a benefit package…”
