Mayor Whitmire joined leaders of HOPE Local 123 to unveil a new three-year contract agreement for municipal employees who maintain our libraries and parks, pick up garbage, fix our streets, and more. They play a crucial role in providing services to the public and keeping the city operational. The agreement strikes a balance, ensuring workers are treated fairly while remaining within budget and not placing an additional burden on taxpayers. It includes: 🔵3.5% across-the-board salary increases in 2025 and 2026. 🔵An increase in the city minimum wage from $15.00 to $16.75 in 2024. 🔵Longevity pay for employees.
