Ald. Smith asked, “When we advertised for the Municipal Court position, we did that in a range.  Do you remember what that range was?”

 

Cari answered, “I don’t believe that one was done in a range because when that position started, we actually were paying on the old rate scale, and then we asked for an increase in that position to that $10, so that individual actually started at $7 an hour, and we did an adjustment with approval from council.”

 

Cari noted that she is not completely sure, but is anticipating the Police position job range to be possibly $10 to $11 an hour.
