These projects collectively aim to enhance waste management, support social welfare, improve sports and public infrastructure, and foster sustainable energy use through solar lighting, alongside road and general city maintenance.
Notably, a significant allocation is for the purchase of heavy equipment for the desilting program. Additionally, around P20 million is earmarked for the Mandaue City Sports Complex for refurbishment and upgrading. The budget also includes provisions for the lease of additional dump trucks for broader garbage collection efforts across the city.
Meanwhile, the City Hall employees may receive a Charter Day celebration bonus, although the budget for this is still under review by the City Budget Management Office. The list of qualified recipients for this bonus is still being finalized.
Furthermore, the proposed budget will be sourced from accumulated savings from 2016 to 2024. Charter Month incentives will be given to all personnel, including job order employees who have served from July 1 to Aug. 30, barangay health workers, and clean and green workers.
Salaries for 10 departments were released on Friday, after being delayed for a week. The suggested bonus has been endorsed by the City Administrator and is with the City Council for approval. However, the amount of the bonus has yet to be determined.
