The Joplin city council last night informally blessed a 3% pay increase for employees during the next budget year. That increase will cost the city approximately $800,000.
While concerned about increases in health care, the council was reminded that $20 million sits uncommitted in the city’s general fund. The city’s budgeted general sales tax revenue for 2010 is $11.645 million.
The city of Joplin has their adopted budget online. You can view it here.
Brother, can you spare a dime?
