Items A-G are guaranteed raises in off years and should have values listed; someone needs to crunch the numbers. Since November 2023 to the present, the salary budget has ballooned, and the workload has been less since the sale of the sewer system. There is also a new two-year contract that was just approved in September. How are you dealing with personnel audits? Who is doing what? How long does it take? The problem is management, and it needs to be addressed. 6 Town of Greenville Council Minutes 01-05-26 5.
