He further indicated that the retirement fund has increased substantially in the last five years. Councilmember Scheel indicated she felt that the firefighters deserved the $19,000. Councilmember Holmgren indicated that the $8.00 per hour that the firefighters are receiving should be addressed. He felt that because this rate has been the same since 1981, it should be raised.
