RE: Bill No. 71 relating to the Salary Ordinance for 1999
For your consideration, I am transmitting a proposed Draft 2 of Bill No. 71 relating to the
Salary Ordinance for 1999. Draft 2 eliminates the Mayor's proposed single step
maximum salary for executives and replaces it with the same three-step system used in
1997 and 1998. A ramseyered version of the first two pages of Bill No. 71 shows the
proposed changes between Draft 1 and Draft 2.
