Special Council Minutes of 12/29/92 LEGISLATI~T (continued) Mr. McKay commente that performance should account for at least some of the increases in the Mayor's salary. Ile noted that this Administration has made great strides in repairing streets grid eliminating flooding. For ten years, he has been asking for street repairs and nothing has been done until this Administration. Mr. McKay commented that you get what you pay for. Mr. Gareau commented that a number of years ago he recognized the method of setting salaries for elected officials was a problem. However, what disturbs him now is that the Mayor is being criticized for introducing the salary legislation. This is not the Mayor's job; it is Council's job. However, when Council did rat come for- ward with the legislation and time was rurming out, the Mayor introduced the legislation. Mayor Boyle further commented that the Administrative Assistant is a corn laude graduate of the University of Dayton. She serves as the liaison to the school district; indeed, through her efforts, the city enjoys the best working relation- ship with the schools than ever before.
