Gardner Brain Drain – City Council to Discuss – and our DEEP DIVE
The Gardner City Council has a meeting of the whole on Monday, August 18, 2025 to discuss what’s in the 774 page agenda concerning non-union compensation. Here is that huge agenda, CLICK HERE. Gardner is trying to agree on a way to modify its pay schedule for non-union employees for greater retention of current employees and easier recruitment for the future. The Deep Dive analysis shows Gardner intends to pay at least the average pay for a particular job, so the City doesn’t lag behind, but doesn’t pay too much either. Changes would be in the form of an ordinance passed by the City Council. The City Council meeting is Monday, August 18, 2025.
Listen to a discussion, explanation, and interpretation with the Chair Man and the Chair Lady on any device. We’re calling it “The Gardner Brain Drain – Keeping Key Employees.” CLICK PLAY.
