Al, Do you think $74,000 is an outrageous overpayment because: 1. she's an employee at a community non-profit. 2. she's an employee at a community non-profit that in your view shouldn't be doing marketing anyway and thus should save itself $74,000. 3. she hasn't been very effective at PR and marketing and that for $74,000 UCD should be able to pay for someone who can sell the BID to its worst enemy (which is what REALLY good PR might be able to help with considerably, and which costs about 4x $74,000). 4. $74,000 is an outrageous amount to pay for someone in a marketing leadership role in a major east coast metropolitan area. Please feel free to select more than one option or to add another. I've read your citations of those so many times, and I'm interested to better understand your assumptions here. Thanks for any insight that you care to provide. Mark Bowerman Number 2 for sure. Of course, your other points beg the question in that they presume conditions with which many of us wouldn't agree. Number 3, for instance -- there might be some justification for maintaining media contacts and providing press releases on activities such as leaf cleanup, or on how the stakeholders in the community can avail themselves of legitimate services a privately-funded SSD might provide. But this might be one of several areas of responsibility for a staff person -- and worth, maybe, $10,000 to $15,000 worth of salary.
