Subject: CCG Final Salary Study Report (PDF would not open. Has been replaced)



Council:



Periodically, we have Department Heads note that their position's salary is

markedly less than Augusta or another similarly sized city. At last year's

Budget meetings, Directors' Salaries came up again and we were asked to look at

it specifically as it related to the City Attorney, who had raised the issue

for discussion.



Given the tight budget scenario the city is facing for FY2014, I will NOT be

recommending any adjustment to any Director's salary. However, I did want to

get Dr. Blair's study to you for your information and review. Dr. Blair will

be available at our next meeting to review his findings and we can ask him any

questions at that time. I will note that it is difficult to compare "apples to

apples" here. Some Departments in different cities are structured differently

with different responsibilities. Often our Directors are wearing many hats

while their counterparts in other cities have delegated duties to different

positions or Authorities.



Again, and I cannot state this clearly enough, I do not intend to recommend any

Director salary adjustment in the Mayor's Budget Letter.
