President’s Message – March 2026

Spring has sprung. As most of you know by now, we met our financial obligation for our tentative agreement as it relates to the unpaid holidays (furloughs). It was a huge  accomplishment, and to those that took voluntary furloughs and transferred into proprietary departments, thank you. Your efforts, and the one unpaid day off taken put us in a position where no further unpaid days off would be necessary this fiscal year. The Coalition has provided the city several ideas on how to generate more funds so we can be in a better financial situation next fiscal year.
