Council sets January re-review for public works, links pay increase to measurable gains
Councilmembers Goedken and Zadow moved to re-review public works in January with instructions that an employee committee set specific performance targets. The motion ties consideration of a base pay increase to observable, "marked gains" in those items; the motion carried 5-0.

The council did not set the specific targets at this meeting. The direction requires the employee committee to define measurable objectives for public works before the January review; any pay adjustments would be contingent on demonstrating the agreed improvements.
