Correction
Wednesday, March 19th, 2008Our latest doc on questions mentioned the Fire Department and it was regarding the Police department.

This is in addition to the existing contractual payments and signals to all that the City is prepared to increase wages by 5.3% in the next round of contract negotiations (Personnel costs in Police Services are $33.767 million so $900K over the new contract months in 2009 represents 5.3%. In the interest of transparency this item should be included in Dept 201 (Police Services)
