Hanson <br />The focus of this budget workshop is to provide an update of the General Fund and <br />discussed employee benefits. Since the last workshop, here are the changes to the <br />General Fund that have been incorporated in to the budget document: <br />• We will be receiving and additional $700 in SCORE Grant funding <br />(recycling) <br />• Salary scale adjustments have been revised to reflect a 2% cost of living <br />adjustment (COLA) for department heads and a 2.5% increase for hourly <br />staff. These amounts are in line with what we have seen from other <br />communities throughout the state. This reduces the general fund impact by $ <br />• LGA usage drops from $151,930 discussed at our last workshop to $146,901. <br />• LGA to the General Capital Improvement Fund increases to $197,924. <br />We will have additional discussions about salaries and benefits. We also need to finalize <br />a plan to resolve the issue of Fire Relief Funding and the overall Fire Department budget. <br />
