I think it's that staff have reached a settlement, which needs to be approved by council at the next council meeting. Councillors will know before they vote on approving, but may not know yet (councillor is still a part time job here).
Overpaid job though - limited to 840 hours per year, about 17 hours per week, and earn $65,000, or $77/hour per hour. This is 4.5x the living wage, yet at the same time, they treat their PT workers like complete shit.
My take as towards the settlement - the city knows it will lose, and fighting further will only cost us more, and reduce any benefit. We already lost a huge chunk of affordable housing component (the donation) because council and the mayor have no backbone and wanted to ensure re-election.
