Employee retention stipend
Summary
The city wants to hand one-time bonuses of $500–$1,000 to long-serving full-time employees after last year's flat $1,000 stipend saw several recipients quit soon after. Commissioners like the tier idea but are debating whether workers still in their first year should get a smaller amount too.
