Temporary solution – City Council finds temporary fix to payroll issues

Published 6:51 pm Friday, October 19, 2018

On Friday, the Selma City Council found a temporary fix in the payroll situation the city is facing.

While it was not one of the options the council discussed at their special called meeting, the transfer of the funds from General Fund, YMCA and another fund will make up the lack of payroll funding, but only for one pay period.

That is the only problem.

This problem is only a temporary fix, and will only work for one payment. What happens next month when there are three pay periods?

We hope that this plan is properly planned out, and not something that is being made up as they go along.

The city already was denied a credit line, and the money in the General Fund and the other accounts borrowed from will only last so long.
