Commerce's public safety professionals are slated for a pay raise.

In this broadcast of KETR's North By Northeast, Commerce City Manager Howdy Lisenbee says that Commerce police and firefighters will soon be receiving salaries on par with other communities around the region. We also discuss the recent unsuccessful attempt to put an Emergency Services District proposal on ballots in the November 2021 election.
