Citywide wage hike approved for 200 city employees
The Baytown council voted 6 to 1 to grant a blanket 5 percent raise to all city workers and a $35 per month boost for police and fire personnel, with final unanimous approval after debate. The plan, included in the 1960 61 budget, faced initial objections over including department heads. Mayor Red Prust supported broader inclusion, while Velma Ansley initially opposed equity concerns. The Police Benevolent Association had requested a separate $1.30 per hour rise equivalent to top earners.
