The budget includes many different items, however the main topics of discussion were employee compensation, several new positions, and funding infrastructure.
A year ago the council had commissioned a firm, Graves Consulting, to find out if the city needs to adjust how it pays its employees.
At the council meeting Laruie Graves, from the firm talked to council about how the city has 53% of its employees at the top of their pay grade, with many similar businesses being at 20 to 25%.
Graves said it would cost around $127,000 from the general fund to change how wages are done.
