OTTERSON: No, he has nothing to do, really, with the City Manager. <br />RAY: No, I’m sorry. But, they’re both full-time positions. <br />J. OTTERSON; Oh, yes. <br />RAY: Now the Council people are regarded as part-time, or full-time? <br />J. OTTERSON: They’re the same as they are here. They have a meeting once a week and, I guess you have one once a week <br />here. I don’t know. <br />RAY: Do you know about the compensation? For instance, what the Council people get paid, what the Mayor gets paid, and <br />what the City Manager gets paid? I mean, roughly. <br />J. OTTERSON: Yes. <br />RAY: What is that? Just in rough numbers. <br />M. HERKES: Maybe your wife knows. She worked in the budget - and we keep using he, and I want to start some she things <br />in here. <br />J. OTTERSON: Here’s the salary. Don’t let this knock you off your chair, now. <br />M. HERKES: No, we won’t. <br />J. OTTERSON: City Manager is $12,878 per month. <br />M. HERKES: Per month? <br />RAY: So, $144,000. Now, what size city is Riverside? <br />J. OTTERSON: 250,000. In fact, it’s 250,800. <br />RAY: And then the Mayor? <br />J. OTTERSON: The Mayor is $4,000 a month. <br />RAY: So, $48,000. Okay. <br />J. OTTERSON: Now, this will, no doubt, go with the amount of responsibility, the amount of people. <br />RAY: Right. I understand that. And then the Council persons get paid? <br />J. OTTERSON: Yes, they get paid, too. <br />RAY: And what is that? <br />J. OTTERSON: I don’t know what their pay is. <br />N. OTTERSON: Well, they were getting paid, started 30+ years ago, $200 a month, and then, when I retired, they were clear <br />up to $600 a month. <br />file://\\coh01\cohweb\council\charter_commission\minutes\minutes 12-08-99.html7/1/2011 <br /> <br />
