Payroll processing began July 3 in preparation of Friday's paychecks, which contained only minimum wages. Despite Thursday's temporary injunction, the mayor saying Thursday that only minimum wages would be paid Friday prompted the unions to seek to hold him in contempt of Thursday's ruling. However, the judge on Friday said he would not hold the mayor in civil contempt Friday because such a move would have been premature. After that hearing, however, the employees learned their paychecks indeed contained only minimum wages and they vowed to again seek to hold the mayor in civil contempt.

As of Monday, the city had $133,000 in cash, but owed $3.4 million in various vendor bills, one of which was health insurance, said city Business Administrator Ryan McGowan.
