'Hon.Claude H. Mcquillan, Mayor
and
The Common Council of Rochester
Re: Salary Schedules for Park Department Employees
Gentlemen:
At our last Park Board meeting, which followed your Council meeting
of .May 6th, we discussed the resolution setting out the salaries
for the various personnel in the department under our jurisdiction.
We do not fully understand what your thinking was when determining
the raises for the various people in the department, but do feel
that after discussing it with our Superintendent, under whom these
pebple work, that we are in a better position to make a distribution
of the increases within the amount of money that you have allocated
as an increase for our permanent staff personnel.
The payroll of `the permanent staff as set out by you would amount
to $105,O90.00, and the payroll as altered by us (see list attahhed)
would amount to $104,360.00, which would mean a saving to the
taxpayers of $720.00 per year. We did not alter these increases
to produce a savings, but to produce a more nearly equitable payroll,
which will promote better feeling between the people on the staff,
and we must have harmony amongst these people if we are to continue
to get the quality and quantity of work that we have had in the past.
As in the past, we must have some seasonal employees, by the rDur,
through the summer to augment the permanent staff." These employees
receive from 900 per hour for the Bathroom help, up to and including
laboring m6n at $1.65 per hour. We ask your sanction in giving
these people a 10¢ per hour increase which will average out slightly
under 10% of the amount expended for our hourly help.
We therefore respectfully ask your indulgence in making these changes
at this time.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
