First, I love our parks and would like to thank those responsible for maintaining them.
I see that the advertised compensation is $110k plus 'fringe benefits' and that the salary is negotiable (http://www.ilparks.org/minneapolisbrochure.pdf). I would like to encourage the board to take a somewhat dodgy statement ('fringe benefits') and make it straightforward and quantifiable. No more cashing in stealth benefits. (Disclaimer: I learned how to use the world stealth as an adjective from David Brauer).
