The police officers are still in a furor over the slap in the face
staff for hiring a newbie officer at a significant salary when here is
the next slap. Tonight November 3, 2014, the council has on its silver
platter the following item:
Personnel & Organization Committee - Chairman Doug Lequire
Item 28 - 14- 25
Adopt a resolution authorizing promotions and the respective
monetary compensation for three members of the Communications Department
(Communications Director, Station Manager, and Senior Video Producer)
effective January 14, 2014 and repealing previous action taken with
Resolution which granted the said promotions and withheld monetary
compensation for an unspecified future date.
What does this mean?
Well I had to go to the Sentinel to get the scoop. The item give pay
raises to the City TV station’s manager - $5300, station manager $4100,
and video producer $3650.
The item is to adopt a resolution authorizing pay raises for
Communications Director Kellie Hunter, Station Manager JasonPost and
Senior Video Producer Steve Jones. If approved, Monday’s resolution will
increase their salaries by $5,300, $4,100 and $3,650, respectively. The
current salaries for those positions are $53,324.96 (communications
director), $40,104.06 (station manager) and $36,407.07 (senior video
producer).
Again the employee’s… not just the police officers are
left out in the cold on this one. Well, other than one police officer.
The salary study is good for certain folks right now not for all right
now. Evidently it is a select few not all inclusive as things should be.
There are a lot of promises made by officials of the City of
Douglasville just read Rider v. Womack et.al. Douglas County Superior
court. They don’t have to enforce promises made they have sovereign
immunity.
Until the citizens take a stand for these folks and
right the wrongs it will continue on. To the folks who receive the
raises tonight take the money and run.
