salary increases for the City employees. - -
P. Landell stated that, while the City employees appreciated the proposed salary
adjustment in the 1968/69 budget, he stated he felt that the City employees were
1 still lagging behind employees in other Cities as San Luis Obispo is always one year
behind in their salary survey. He stated this would be further aggrevated when
the other Cities make their salary adjustment in July 1968. He stated he felt that
an additional one and one half step increase to all classifications would-bring the
City of San Luis Obispo employees in line with other employees of other agencies.

other Cities in salary.
