complexity to Richmond. It was intended to be used as a tool to evaluate practices in Richmond, ensure that Richmond is competitive in the labor marketplace, and plan for future budgets.
The results of the study have been available to staff for a significant period, but the City Council continues to be told that “there are questions.”
If there are questions or continuing issues, they can continue to be pursued, and can be flagged by staff, but this study needs to be released.
