nonprofit organizations for a cost of living adjustment directed for salary increases for its employees.
He also asked the Board to carefully review the courts budget request which has increased nearly $3
million when most City departments remained at maintenance levels.

have a world class delivery system to serve the City's world class group of people.
The Mayor acknowledged the assistance and perspectives provided by each individual Supervisor and
