During the Mid-Year Budget process, staff will determine if any additional mid-year
recommended adjustments are necessary based on the status of revenues and expenditures at
that time.
It is important to note that the aforementioned salary and benefit adjustments were
recommended in conjunction with the elimination of the Town ’s retiree healthcare benefit and
the sick leave cash out benefit prospectively. The estimated salary and benefit adjustments do
not currently take into account the significant savings expected to accrue from those employee
concessions.
