Resident questions apparent pay increases for code enforcement and economic development contract
Summary
During public comment, resident Dave McLaren questioned increases to the Director of Code Enforcement line and the economic development allocation; City Manager Robert Fiscus said the economic development amount is a contract with the SCDC and that new hires accounted for the pay differences.
Resident Dave McLaren spoke during public comment, saying the Director of Code Enforcement line (421-010) rose from $52,000 to $76,000 and noting a $20,000 increase for the Economic Development Director line compared with prior years. He described the increases as "a very large raise."
City Manager Robert Fiscus responded that the $80,000 shown in Line Item 463-000 is a contract expense paid to the SCDC for economic development services, and that the City did not give blanket raises but "negotiated to bring new talent in"—language he used to explain the higher amounts.
