In the brochure that City Officials handed out at the last Tentative Budget Hearing Meeting on Sept. 8, 2010, it states that "by the appointment of an acting city manager who is working full time for Polk City without compensation," a $50,000.00 savings to the City was created.
One of our readers questioned if this $50,000.00 savings is reflected in the proposed 2010-2011 budget. If the current individual who is now taking on these responsibilities without compensation steps down, another individual will then need to fill these shoes. It will be next to impossible to find someone else to perform these services for free. In that case, will there then be a shortfall in the proposed budget?
The FACTS are:
ReplyDelete1. I am doing this without compensation until the end of December. That is when the severance ends for the previous city manager and the salary for the city manager is budgeted in calendar year 2011.
2. If for some personal reason I need to step down or the council decides not to extend my time as City Manager, another staff member would step in and do a dual role until the City Manager role is budgeted in January 2011.
These business and financials principles were considered before writing the accomplishments of the last 12 weeks of this current city council.
If you would like to see the accomplishments, I was unable to post this update to this blog. This accomplishment letter is out on The Ledger blog at:
