All eligible Georgetown city staff who received an "exceeds" or "outstanding" rating on their Sept. 30, 2011, performance reviews will receive a $1,000–$1,500 one-time bonus using savings from the 2011–12 fiscal year budget.
City Council approved almost $300,000 for the bonuses June 12 at its regular meeting with a 5–2 vote. Council members Troy Hellmann and Tommy Gonzalez were the dissenting votes.
The money will come from savings already realized in this year's budget and not from additional revenue, Georgetown Chief Financial Officer Micki Rundell said.
Although all council members supported the bonuses, there was some debate as to when the bonuses should be considered.
