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.
