This ordinance is intended to set the maximum 2017 salary for all appointed officers, non-union, and A.F.S.C.M.E. employees for all the departments of the City of Bloomington, Indiana. The Council passed Ordinance 16-26 in October, which fixed said salaries for 2017, but there were some procedural irregularities that cast doubt upon its adoption. To address errors in the adoption process, this ordinance ratifies the adoption of Ordinance 16-26. In the event ratification alone does not accomplish the intent of the Mayor and Council, this ordinance otherwise approves and fixes the salaries as set forth herein.
