This is a good article. Let's us know the situation.
Glad to hear that Mountain View is weathering the storm decently for now.

@Mountain View Voice - Did the City share the projected total cost of the raises adopted two weeks ago (one week before getting financial update)?

@SRB
My understanding is the raises were already budgeted for as they are every time. It takes months and sometimes years for a city to negotiate raises with union groups. Once they come to an agreement such as 2% for the next 3 years the city budgets for it, hence how they were able to balance the budget.

@The guy
Regardless of how the raises were arrived to (and they were approved a mere few weeks ago), do you know ho much cost they're adding to the 20-21 budget?
