less work, same pay

More pools will be visited in the coming days to see how other cities handle their pool revenues and operations. All of this SHOULD, could, and would be done by the City Manager of course, as part of his responsibilities to justify his exorbitant salary. When he says he didnt ask for a raise last year, he is technically correct. What is NOT said is that 15-20% of his responsibilities walked out the door to the County with the transfer of the Water and Sewer Department. The City was paid 440k per year to ADMINISTER the W & S dept, and was the basis for his high salary. So now he has 15-20% LESS responsibilitites and the SAME pay! That amounts to a 15-20% RAISE. Sweet deal for HIM; bad deal and bad business for the taxpayers! He should be taking a 15-20% DROP in pay! Why has the Council NOT demanded this? People are paid in accordance with the amount of responsibility assumed - less responsibility, less pay - except here.
