As the city can finally close the door on budget preparations for the coming year, Mayor Sheets is excited to share with the community that city employees will yet again be rewarded for a job well done.
“Our employees are second to none, and I want them to always know this city continues to value their dedication to our community,” shared Mayor Judy Sheets. “We are proud to continue to focus on sustainability and consistency in our budget that allows us to provide employees with stability in their paychecks.”
For the third year in a row, Mayor Sheets budgeted to keep health insurance premiums frozen, meaning city employees will not see their premiums increase. In addition, all city employees will receive a 5% payroll increase.
With costs rising across the board for everyone in the US, Mayor Sheets prides herself on leading this team toward continued stability and cost of living adjustments. These budget line items, along with the other recently passed budget allocations, all point to a bright future for the city of Frankfort.

With current inflation the 5 percent is a step backwards for employees. I bet congress and reps who vote their own raises get much more.
It is public record. I will see what we can find.—Kevin Keith

Wouldn’t it be a great idea for us to base it on what our community can afford as opposed to what other communities are paying or can afford. Our spending has been out control for some time.
Maybe they are?–Kevin Keith
