3 issues in taxes budget with medium priority
City Facility Naming Policy
A draft policy would set naming criteria, vetting, fees, and a four-fifths council vote for major facility names, with this commission reviewing neighborhood facility applications within 30 days. Commissioners flagged missing appeal processes, vague restriction language, and unclear treatment of pending referrals like the DeWizak park naming.
Professional services procurement
A letter headed to the council pushes for competitive quotes on professional services contracts rather than rolling the same vendors over year after year. A public commenter warned repeat no-bid hires inflate hourly rates and freeze out other qualified firms.
Salary Adjustments for Elected Officials
The council gave final approval to raises for the Mayor, Councilmembers, City Clerk and City Treasurer. Critics, including Ron Maroko, argued members have a personal financial interest and that the Budget & Finance Commission recommended no increases; supporters said modest pay helps attract qualified candidates.
