# Budget committee holds off on the weights and measures budget over an unresolved raise question

## What happened
The committee found an unresolved note about whether the weights and measures budget includes a raise for the department's staff, and set the entire budget aside without voting on it. Staff explained that the budget's added contractual-services money would pay for help handling a growing number of gas stations that need contract inspections.

## The outcome
Deferred; no vote was taken, and the committee said it would come back to this budget later. No date was set for when.
