The Fremont City Council approved a 1 1/2 year salary increase raising City Manager Don Driggs to 26 000 retroactive to the July budget. Nearly 400 city employees had salary increases this year totaling over 644 000 with 33 top management raises last week averaging about 0.2 percent. The council also revised the fireworks ordinance to permit up to 40 non profit groups to sell Safe and Sane fireworks for July 4 with last year’s 20 permit holders given preference. Additional items included minor changes to the business license tax, funding for a clerk to bolster enforcement, and debate over agricultural preserve tax relief applications and industrial property preservation. The expenditure of 1 800 for Alameda County Mayors Conference staff was approved over opposition from Councilman Geoffrey Steel.
