Resident questions reported pay totals for RPD supervisors; chief explains contract and pension accounting
Summary
A resident alleged that 22 RPD sergeants were listed among the city's top 100 earners with an average $325,000 compensation figure; Chief Solfino said the totals reflect contractual overtime, specialty pay and the city's pension contributions rather than base pay alone.
During public comment resident Mac Rossi presented a report he said showed 22 sergeants among the city’s top 100 salaries with an average annual figure of $325,000 (including salary, overtime and benefits). He asked RPD leadership to explain how such totals come about.
Chief Corey Solfino responded that supervisory compensation is governed by collective‑bargaining agreements (CBAs) and that extra pay for overtime, shift differentials, education or specialty assignments and employer pension contributions can inflate reported total compensation figures. “That number does seem inflated,” Solfino said, explaining that PERS contributions and contractual overtime affect the totals and that some reported amounts reflect employer contributions, not cash paid directly to employees.
