Administration, Finance, Law & Public Services Public Hearing & Regular Meeting

The City of New Britain's Administration, Finance, Law & Public Services Committee held a public hearing and regular meeting on August 6, 2026. The primary procurement-related discussion focused on salary adjustments for various city officials, including the registrar of voters, corporation counsel, treasurer, and mayor. The committee debated a resolution to increase the registrar of voters' salary by $1 and to raise the clerk of committees' salary to $30,000 with expanded duties. There was significant discussion about whether to include corporation counsel, treasurer, and mayor in the $1 increase, with motions to amend the resolution accordingly. Ultimately, amendments to include the mayor and treasurer failed, and the resolution as amended on June 10th was referred back to the full Common Council with a neutral recommendation. The meeting also addressed the timing and ordinance provisions related to salary increases tied to the local 1186 union contract. No new contracts, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
