SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Any questions?
COUNCILMAN TOWNSEND: Yes. We had a rather extensive debate about this
and my feeling at the time was that while I wasn't able to come to an agreement
with the rest of the Board about all these salaries and several people weren't.
The fact is--my feeling is these are appointed positidns, they're not elected
positions and these were to be determined now and they're to be determined
within the concepts within the confines of the budget and also reflect somewhat
on the duty of the job. I felt that in several instances we should not give
increases equivalent to ten and fifteen percent of the salaries. Some of these
increases are quite high. That's why originally we suggested we voted these
one at a time. ! think at this point some of the salaries perhaps should be
brought up more than say seven or eight percent because of the duties of the
loc. ~ome or them should not, hoW,eve'rj;~ib~cause they have been treated fairly
right along and to increase a salary fifteen i~ercent when we're trying to keep a
reign on the budget I think is uncalled for, so that's why I not going to--that's
why I intend not to go along with it unless you want to break it up into individual.
COUNCILWOMAN COCHRAN: Let's break it individual.
SUPERVISOR MURPHY: Then let's vote individual.
