  1. Crazy how much city managers get paid. Cherry on top is the benefits, retirement, medical etc.

  2. Worst city manager ever. Doesn’t deserve any raise.

  3. If you've never held the position, you don't really know what you are talking about when complaining about the salaries. It is like being the CEO of a corporation except you are the one on the front line every day dealing with staff, elected officials, media, local, state, and federal laws, as well as citizens that range from the extremely pleased to the extremely irate. You can be fired at the drop of a hat and you are blamed when things go wrong, but rarely when things go right. Your bosses can change every year or two with an election and you have to operate with a balanced budget that keeps getting squeezed more and more every year. The pay and benefits can be really good, but you have to put in your time to earn it with both experience (years as an assistant), education (masters degree almost always required), and temperament (level-headed, patient, and understanding). Bottom line....they earn what they make.
