Palmer is right when he says that I don't if someone is getting a $30,000 raise but I know that their position is getting a $30,000+ raise. The pay scales that I listed where obtained from the letters sent by Mrs. French (Director of Human Resources) to the Mayor on March 3, 2005 and copied to Lee Sheehy- Director of CPED, Timothy Giles- Director Employee Services, Carol Rodgers-Senior Human Resources Consultant, Mike Anderson- Central Payroll, Crystal DeJarlais-HRIS, Barbara Payton- HRIS, Betty Stanifer- Classifications. After further examination of the documents I have discovered that Lee Sheehy's directors position also received a pay increase sometime ago. His previous salary range was between $110,400-$122,021 and his current salary range is between $113,569-$125,523. Jonathan's position as Administrator of the Empowerment Zone which is now under CPED was reduced in pay. Kim Havey the former administrator made between $75,735-$83,707 where JP's salary is between $65,043-$71,890. Like I said in my previous post I am not going to state my opinion in this matter just a presentation of the facts based on the city documents that I have obtained. If anyone would like to see these documents just shoot me a fax number and I will fax them to you. I understand that it is a political season and getting caught raising salaries during a hiring freeze won't go over to well with the voters, but none the less CPED with the blessing of the Mayor is trying to do just that. Don't shoot the messenger. Like I said if ANYONE wants copies of these documents give me a fax number and I will fax them to you. JP is also correct that the staff will make a report at the Ways and Means Committee hearing on Monday unless someone puts this item on the agenda as a consent Item as opposed to one that will be discussed. Either way you cut it the minimum raise that a person holding one of these positions would get is $10,237. I have listed the positions below again for you to view.
