Salaries dispute grips City Wolf council clash over raises
City Wolf officials and the Board of Public Works tangled over 1977 salary raises paid from utilities funds. The City Council defeated a pay raise resolution amid claims raises were issued without proper approval. The Board president cited a 1902 statute granting salary power to the board, while confusion over who authorized raises persisted. Officials floated possible salary policy changes and retroactive actions, with the impact on specific employees unclear. Other actions included sewer ordinance steps, EPA-compliant regulations, and grant applications for federal funds and transit operating support.
