4 issues with low priority
Civil Service Commission Compensation
A request to raise commission pay from $25 to $150 per meeting got sent back after members flagged the 500% jump, the lack of a monthly cap, and fairness questions for the city's other unpaid commissions.
Donated Land for Stockton Police Department
