Additionally, a measure to approve annual COLA Pay Increases for all Non-Union Village of Cary staff was passed with a margin of 4-2.
Trustee Pilli made a statement and said that he was, “Not in favor of COLA increases. They were great when high inflation was a problem. Instead we need to follow what businesses are doing and issue merit increases.” Trustees Pilli and Kownick were the dissenting votes.

Village Administrator Cameron Davis briefly discussed the budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Davis said that the budget is dependent on what the state congress decides to do with regard to shared revenue.
Shared revenue is the second largest revenue item in the budget.
The Village has budgeted for a small decrease in shared revenue, but if the decrease is around 30% the budget will have to be revisited.
The next meeting is April 19.
