A couple big items on the City Council agenda tonight. But the one that will generate the most comment from the public is sure to be those top 250 salaries.
Like every year, a lot of that attention will be directed right at the police detail pay, some of which seems a bit high. Take Police Sergeant Donald Larange, who led the department in detail pay with $61,993.63 last year. At $40 per detail hour, that comes out to a little more than 29 hours a week BEYOND however many hours (40?) he is putting in at his $69,480 base salary. Larange also brought in $17,712.39 in overtime pay and an additional $2,849.42 in court attendance pay. Larange is just one of many though–25 police officers/officials in the top 250 paid employees brought in more than $40,000 in detail pay; another 35 brought in $20,000 or more in overtime.
The other big item tonight could be the adult entertainment zoning ordinance revision revision: residences will now be included in the buffer zones.
