ABOUT THE PAY RAISE: Asking for such a HUGE Raise at once, you seem to think you will be doing this Job as a Career. Try this, ALL Newly Elected City Commissioners start at $40,000 and Every Year that City Employee’s receive a “Cost Of Living” Raise, YOU get one TOO. The Catch is, TERM LIMITS. At most, Two Terms Only, and you are out, then the New Commissioner starts at $40,000.

You were having the County Pay for one of the Community Centers because you couldn’t afford it and when the Contract ran out and the County chose NOT to renew it, you all got angry talking about maybe having to close it down be cause you didn’t have the Funds to keep it open and yet, you have Money for a HUGE Pay Raise that is not deserving? WTH

$39,000 to $80,000.

Wow… that is quite a substantive change. I give them an A+ for having the stones to admit their desire to try it, and an F- for the lack of awareness of economic realities. I wonder what the Commission’s reaction would be to a request to double the salaries of all City employees, or the Mayor’s for that matter?

And tread carefully and watch closely with respect to a proposal by any elected municipal or county body that seeks to change a City or County Charter. Citizens must pay very close attention to the wording of any proposed changes. Most elected officials will seek to minimize citizen control and input, whenever given a chance to do so. As a rule-of-thumb, citizens should demand a public referendum for any and all major decisions/changes made to the governance structure of their city or county… the operative word being “their”, as in “our”… as in “of, by, and for”

So this is a $41K increase x 5 = $205K increase performance year; coincidentally Cynthia Barber’s salary (unadjusted). So now we know how to find this. Oh – and why is this coming to light now; is it because kickback Governance and Company can’t pay these folks anymore?

$39,000 to $80,000….oh geeez, here we go again! Should we go ahead and just have the FBI set up a permanent office at the City Hall?

In reply to News Maven. If you set Term Limits to just TWO Terms, you wont need to worry about the Pay Raise. They do one or two Terms KNOWING what the Pay is and they are gone. Demand Term Limits.

The Commission’s 2019 decision to implement gender-neutral language in the City’s Charter and ordinances ………………….. How is that even possible to do?
