At its budget work session in City Hall tonight, the six members of the Falls Church City Council present (Lawrence Webb absent) came to a firm consensus that a 5.5 percent salary increase would be included in the FY 2013 budget that they are slated to adopt on April 23. This would be a meaningful hike over the 3 percent proposed in the City Manager’s recommended budget last month, and key City employees present at the meeting told the News-Press in the parking lot following the meeting that they were “very pleased” with the news.
