The City of Charlotte s lowest-paid employees would get raises of 14.5% starting July 1, under the city manager s proposed budget delivered to the city council Monday night. The budget also includes a 3% salary increase for most other employees.
City Manager Marcus Jones wants to raise the city s minimum salary to $38,090 a year, or 60% of the city s median household income.

If you work for the city of Charlotte, Jones added, you should be able to live here.

The Mecklenburg County Health Department is moving forward with plans to establish a violence interruption program in hopes of stemming violent crime, especially gun violence, in Charlotte.
Plans for the program have been in the works since January 2020, but its rollout was delayed by the pandemic. The county now says it has selected a national nonprofit called Youth Advocate Programs to implement the program and hire its staff in the coming weeks.
Mecklenburg County s deputy health director, Raynard Washington, says the goal is to hire five to seven full-time violence interrupters plus two caseworkers and initially focus on the Beatties Ford Road and Lasalle Street corridor.
