Did you know that the Community Development Director will receive a 27% merit raise after 6 months on the job?

The new Community Development Director's starting salary was the same as the previous Main Street Director's salary, according to City Manager Finley DeGraffenried. The 2013 Proposed Budget now has her salary at 27% higher. This can't be a merit increase unless there is an H.E.B in town we haven't noticed. The fact is that the new Community Director is far less qualified, is still "studying," and a 27% increase in 6 months is obscene. Finley explains that the job now has more responsibilities. More responsibilities than when she started 6 months ago? Because that is when salary is negotiated. After that it is merit based. Anyway, more on the responsibilities and whether citizens should spend $77,000 for a redundant staff function will come in another post.

Do we want to raise taxes and utility rates to pay for this? Tell he City what you think.
