City Council To Approve $700G For Fire Department Retro Pay
After a lengthy discussion, $700,000 was approved to pay outstanding retro pay for the fire department.
While the numbers changed throughout the night and a lenghty discussion prefaced the vote, 14 firemen will receive the retro active pay to which they're entitled.
The city initially asked the council to approve $1 million, but only $700,000 was needed.
Fourteen firemen retired on February and are due the pay, which until Wednesday night, the city had said was not in the budget.
