Re: Eagle Salary Report Gets a D-

While I agree that the number of employees is a function of
population, the issue is the salary paid to the department heads.

The salaries of the worker bees appear to be at market. The department
heads, however, appear to be significantly overpaid.

On the Mayor's salary, this 76% increase was done quietly and quickly
last August. The city council rules were suspended so this could
happen under the radar.

Once again, I think the Mayor needs to ask for a refund on the study.
As an alternative, he should have the data reanalyzed and maybe add
his position into the survey to see where he stands.

Why is the Mayor of Meridian paid $65,000, and Eagle's mayor paid
$74,000? Meridian is three times larger. How does this make sense?
