Council Members have a list trhich ah~+s~ a number of other cities in the area and the lowest range is around $1}.,000 and it goes to over $14,000. The range we are recommending is from $b,000. to $13,000:, so he does not think it is tmreasonable there. There are five cities listed ~.ch are presently paid is the range of $13,000. and a number of these cities are quite a bit asaller than ~tth almsted.
