Quick context to catch up fast.
The committee unanimously tabled both a proposed department-head salary schedule and proposed tax-title property ordinance for further review. The salary proposal covers 16 employees and 3% cost-of-living increases over three years; the tax-title proposal would remove a $600 application fee and require properties to be listed through MLS within 180 days before auction.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
No final action was taken on either ordinance. The salary schedule will remain on hold while the committee considers legal and budget questions, including how future tax changes could affect city finances. The tax-title proposal will receive additional legal review, including questions about retaining properties for affordable housing or conservation. Police also reported that the Do Not Knock Registry is receiving positive initial feedback, but the required sign wording is creating enforcement problems; possible changes will be discussed later.
