Keith Hartzel, John Flood and John Kemenosh need to hear from you.
The [salary cap increase] plan offered by the Mayor never got support from Council, so it stopped in it's tracks. No public comment was able to be heard on the issue at the Council meeting on August 11, 2011. Instead, Keith Hartzel suggested he'd still like to do something. The three have been appointed to come up with another suggestion or plan as it relates to Department Head salaries.
A very clear comment appeared following the August 11th OceanCityPatch article...it is copied below:
"I cannot understand why Councilman Hartzell would ask for a committee to discuss raises for department heads after no second was made to discuss salary caps. With many taxpayers out of work and/or living on fixed incomes why would this even be considered necessary. All of our employees make a very good living and should understand there is no bottomless pocket. I think it's time for department heads to set an example to employees so that when their contracts come up they won't expect a raise to keep up with department heads."
Well said! Let them hear us!
