City Council Grants Broad Pay Increases for 2800 Employees
Long Beach reads that the City Council approved pay raises from 5 to over 10 percent for nearly all 2,800 workers after a pension program. The action added raises for 12 unlisted classifications and for three elected and one appointed positions, aiming to attract and retain talent. Taxpayers fund these raises, which may challenge the planned small tax cut in the budget. Public sentiment favors good service from well paid staff, though some worry about the tax impact.
