I think its bull .
I'm always interested to hear the opinions of other SpursTalkers, you guys are a pretty unique set of people.
Anyhow, the gist of the story is that the Mayor of San Antonio wants to give Sheryl Sculley a new contract that would call for yearly raises of up to 20K dollars a year for the next three years, and allow her take take a part time teaching job in Austin.
Keep in mind that when she was hired she was already receiving a contract that made her the highest paid City Manger in the country.
Thoughts?
I think its bull .
No...bull is letting her hire her husband at 800K or whatever she paid him, to "consult" the city on how best to get an NFL team. His analysis? "Forget it." Pay the man.
We need to hire Agent Scully to find out what space alien thought hiring this would be a good idea.
More than a few city employees reacted to us yesterday panning this move, especially considering she essentially allowed for COL raises of 3 percent this year.
No she didn't.Keep in mind that when she was hired she was already receiving a contract that made her the highest paid City Manger in the country.
If it's not the highest, it's one of the highest:
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/loc..._contract.htmlThe City Council added a late posting to its agenda for Thursday's final meeting of the year: It will consider extending City Manager Sheryl Sculley's employment contract.
The terms of her proposed pact are not clear. Sculley, one of the highest paid city mangers in the nation, makes $295,000 in addition to a car and cell telephone allowance and an annual expense account.
Mayor Phil Hardberger and several council members have said signing Sculley, hired in 2005, to a long term contract, is a priority.
I'd like a breakdown as to why she deserves a raise on a 300 hundred friggin thousand dollar salary.
Her salary has been unchanged since she was hired. A 20K raise would be less than 3%/yr over that period.
She has done a good job. The real goal here is to get her locked in to a long term contract in case Julian Castro gets in as mayor to minimize the amount of damage he can do.
lol she gets paid more then australias PM job hahahahahaa.......fkn lame. maybe she could run for prime minister or prez
She's worth it!!!
From what I've seen and heard she's pretty much the best in the biz.
I believe Phoenix lost its AAA bond rating, leaving San Antonio as the only city in the country with a population over 1 million to have a AAA bond rating.
She's done a lot for this city and the extra 20k is a drop in the bucket to what she's brought.
President Bush's current salary is $400,000.
Funny how so many say she's "worth it" and "has done a lot", but can't LIST ONE GODDAMN THING!
Nice to see San Antonioans struggling, losing jobs, and having their pay remain the same while the City Manager gets a 6.7% raise. Don't use that lame excuse that getting a $20K raise now is fair since her pay hasn't increased under her first contract. That should have been written into the first contract - we're not making up here for lost time.
The City Manager in San Antonio is an incredibly powerful position because of the idiocy of our city government structure. You have to make sure you have someone in that position that knows what they're doing.
But to allow here to take a part time teaching position in Austin????? Is that part for real?
no ..is the ing manager or just moonlighting as one.
Totally agree!!!!!!!!!
Unemployment is at its highest but, she gets an extra 20k!!!!!!!!!
WTF!!!
What about everyone elses COL raise!! $250.00 a/yr is over payin' why give her more!!
Seriously I can't see how she deserves this! What has she done!!
Oh wait she hired that BUL of a Chief Hood....... & where is he from...!?
her & Hood!! Get'em the outta here & get people from San Antonio to RUN San Antonio!!!
Care to list some?She's done a lot for this city and the extra 20k is a drop in the bucket to what she's brought.
The New America.
Where every Joe schmo now knows how much a person really deserves for salary.
Last I heard, Texas/S.A. has some of the lowest unemployment in the entire ing nation.
In case you haven't heard, the entire Nation is getting owned right about now. Texas will weather the storm better than almost any other state.
Read my post you .
She helped get a AAA bond rating for the city, which allows the city to both receive loans at a cheaper rate and makes bonds that the city does sell more attractive to investors.
She also helped raise the "on-hand" cash reserves of the city from 3-4% to 10% of total expenditures if i'm not mistaken.
Is this also for real? You telling me there is no City rules preventing her from hiring a relative let alone her husband?
Easy there jman......I dont give a what bond rating she got the city(I'm sure she was not soley responsible for it either), she isnt worth a $20 k year raise...SA will always be attractive to investors, cheaper land, cheaper labor, cheaper materials...do some research on where people migrated to after the great depression....so she helps the city get %6 more cash reserves & then she takes a $20 k raise per year?..that makes sense...those are some weak ass reasons for a raise..not to mention she wants to make it a part time job so she can go to school?...I can think of a few projects/foundations around town that could use an extra $20 k a year..if you think that giving scully a $20k a year raise is spending you tax dollars wisely, you are delusional.
Thats in' ridiculus!!!!! Part-time...HA!!!
I know some fellow co-workers whom were fired for havin' a full & part time job.... & they worked for YOUR SAFD!!
20K more a year really isn't much for qualified leadership.
It's worth it if you've ACTUALLY done something or some good!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you think she hasn't done? What would you have wanted her to do that she hasn't?It's worth it if you've ACTUALLY done something or some good!!!!!!!!!!!!
