Notes from the final votes by the Fort Wayne City Council on the 2010 City Budget on October 27, 2009.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Video of the final vote will be posted later. \u00c2\u00a0For notes on the discussion during the Committee Session, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n S-09-09-27<\/strong> This ordinance was passed 9-0.<\/p>\n S-09-09-29<\/strong> (as amended 4 times) This ordinance was also passed 9-0.<\/p>\n A-09-09-30<\/strong> (as amended 6 times) The problem was if the budget was defeated, the 2009 budget figures would be put into place which with the additional appropriations approved this year by the City Council, those would have been included which would have increased the overall budget by a little over $1.2 million, if I heard correctly. \u00c2\u00a0It also would have meant no raises for City employees.<\/p>\n In order to keep this from happening, Councilman Tom Didier revived an earlier motion by Councilman Mitch Harper to lower the the wage increase for city employees from the proposed 1.5% by the City to 1.0%. \u00c2\u00a0This motion was approved and amended to the budget during a roll call vote:<\/p>\n Aye – Bender, Didier, Harper, Pape, Shoaff Councilwoman Goldner held her vote the first round, then voted no. \u00c2\u00a0It passed, 5-4.<\/p>\n So, the final budget was approved as submitted with the following changes (savings in\u00c2\u00a0parenthesis):<\/p>\n Total cuts: $460,608.<\/p>\n The final vote:<\/p>\n In favor – Bender, Didier, Harper, Pape, Shoaff Final – 5 to 4, passes.<\/p>\n Notes from the final votes by the Fort Wayne City Council on the 2010 City Budget on October 27, 2009.
