With respect to the Mayor's comments regarding Ordinance No. 86-118, which was passed by council two weeks ago, Mr. Rademaker stated that it was his understanding that the line item for Senior Center Clerk was being decreased to $11,295 because that was the salary at which the clerk was hired in at and there remained an overage of $2,420. Did he mis- understand Mr. Wilamosky's remarks at that time? Mr. Wilamosky replied that his point had been misunderstood. When the Mayor had previously discussed the hiring of a clerk for the Building Department, a $9,500 starting wage had been agreed on. Mayor then transferred the Senior Center clerk to the Building Department and hired a new clerk for the Senior Center; Council had expected the Mayor to stand by the established agreement of hiring a clerk at a salary of $9,500; this was not done; the newly hired clerk was hired at a starting salary of $11,000, which was contrary to council's understanding as per previous agreement. No matter where the clerk was to be placed, the starting wage should have been $9,500. Mayor responded that she does not recall any conversation about the starting wage for a clerk; what was discussed was a starting wage for an Outreach Worker. Also, the newly hired clerk has been hired at considerably less than the previous clerk was making. Mr. Tallon stated that•he had been in on the meetings held "' with respect to this position and there was no doubt in his mind, when leaving `~' the conference room, that the Mayor had agreed, in fact, to hire the clerk for $9,500; the Outreach Worker is a part time position and the discussion of her pay could not possibly have been confused with the starting wage for a clerk. One thing had been agreed to by all and Mayor Petrigac did something else. Clerk was to be hired in at $9:,500; Mayor hired her at $11,000. Since the Mayor was given the opportunity to straighten this out in-house, and did not do so, Council has done it through the legislative. process. ,~ ~r„~..., S~elr`~?H#~pkfl~INn1NPIPR~uevHAMn1~w11~lII*I~Ipwr~I1~p rS3M n-rxAbeia ev-.garb.i r~ ayttrr: ,,_ .
