After tax measure failure, Everett could offer buyouts
EVERETT — The Everett City Council is considering buyouts for city employees to address next year’s budget deficit after the failure of Proposition 1 this month.
The buyouts aim to reduce costs by offering employees an incentive to retire or quit their jobs.
The proposal was first discussed at Wednesday’s council meeting. It could come to a vote Aug. 28.
Employees who accept the buyouts must separate before Nov. 30 of this year.
