City of Bloomington, Indiana

closed: Resolved #181007

City Performance:

Other: Please explain to me why after tons of studies and information at hand globally, this government still does not match the county in work hours. You are supposed to be a major employer, government, and body of change and you still require archaic schedules and work processes. I hope your administration begins to match the county in pay if you’re gonna keep working longer hours. No one in this town can afford to live and you make them work their whole lives away. Not to mention that your “living wage” does not match cost of living. Moving to this area was very eye opening as this administration over the past years has shown they’re not going to progress with modern times, even after tragedies, a pandemic, and rising vivid cases internally. Do better us citizens are expecting council to get it in gear and make this city a key employer.

Good morning, Thank you for the feedback. It has been shared. With my research in searching for comparable positions, I found the reverse to be true, with City employees being paid more than their County counterparts. City and County salaries are close for comparable positions but depending on experience and skills, there could be County employees (or City employees) who are paid more. When thinking about compensation packages, it’s helpful to remember to include the entire benefits package, which in the case of the City of Bloomington is among the best out there. A cost of living increase and additional employee benefits are being proposed in the 2023 budget. Thank you.
