City workers across four unions face higher costs in the new fiscal year as salaries rise to 936 for firemen and 832 for police, library staff, and blue-collar workers. About 700 employees are affected as negotiations continue over fringe benefits and pay equity after ending the annual step system. A petition from 25 long-time workers calls for greater longevity pay and vacation benefits beyond 20 years of service.

Eye Changes In Policy on Used Property
The city plans small changes to its policy on disposing of used property to cut bottlenecks. The 1970 rule required two appraisals and a five day department response, with two Gazette notices and a sale at least 10 days after quotations. The update reduces department response to three days and requires only one Gazette publication for a public sale.
