Inflation says I do.
maybe not the first plane, but maybe later. She's worth it and I don't say that very often about government officials. btw, the Police and Fireman have one of the best retirement programs in the entire nation. People are applying for those positions in droves. not more than 5 years ago you could test low and get a job as a fireman. Now 97 is about the cutoff because of the demand for those jobs.
If she's worth so much she'll leave sooner or later. As would I.
San Antonio is a great place to live. You don't need to be the highest paid, but as long as we're compe ive people stay.
so 'maybe' is reason enough to give her the 20k raise?
oh yeah, I forgot that it is considered appropriate in this thread that when you save someone else money, you should be given a small chunk of that money.

police and fire may just have the best/strongest union in the nation. They have something like a 99% membership rate and they squeeze every ounce of it out during budget time.
based on your probable salary that is a perfectly acceptable answer.Inflation says I do.
a blank stare is not a good answer.
mannyisgod = hardberger
You don't need to be the highest paid.........but we'll go ahead and make Sculley the highest paid anyway.
mannyisgod = Sculley's son that is in her will
Is she still getting her partime job in Austin?
I don't have a problem with the raise, but have a HUGE problem taking a part time job.
http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/Cit...r_Sculley.html
Sculley's new contract would give her a $20,000 pay raise, to $315,000, and allow her to accept a part-time teaching job at the University of Texas, according to Mayor Phil Hardberger.
It also has built-in escalators that would kick in over time as the full council reviewed her performance. With a satisfactory job review by a majority of council members, her pay would increase to $335,000 in the pact's second year and $355,000 in the third year.
But the pact also says Sculley's proposed yearly pay raises would be cut by 50 percent if the national economic downturn causes a cancellation of city workers' cost-of-living pay increases, according to Hardberger.
The contract was not made public after the vote; City Attorney Michael Bernard said until the contract is signed by the manager and the mayor it is not a public do ent.
Later, Rodriguez said the new clause that gave him heartburn was over the amount of severance pay the manager would receive in the case of an "involuntary termination." The current contract allows for 12 months of pay; the new one increases that to 15 months in 2009, 18 months in 2010 and 21 months in 2011.
sons leave it up to MannyIsGod to defend the Democrats no matter what! all he needs to see is the letter "D" next to their name and that is all he needs to know to defend them! get off your high horse Manny boy and put down your Obama replica African fetish dildo and learn to see past "D" and "R" ...

I feel far too lazy to get into this right now, but this is one of the few times that I disagree with MIG...
Geez. Lead by example. Say "no thanks" to the raise. See whats going on in 6 months to a year. Maybe they can give her $40,000 if the economy is better. Who knows? There is a reason she does not go to the private sector. I have no clue what it is but she not there. Some things are just wrong and this is one of them.
The look on her face said alot when she was asked that question.
If you didn't watch the video, this is pretty much what she looked like:
She had a Sarah Palin moment.
I don't understand how you can allow a person making that much money take a part time job. Someone please explain this to me.http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/Cit...r_Sculley.html

I've got a buddy who is a city manager in a small town around the DFW area and he also does part time teaching at a nearby college. He also is working on his doctorate.....of course, he is doing it in order to pad his resume to work up to a big city.
I'm just curious why she wants to do the teaching gig right now. Does being city manager of SA bore her that much?
I don't understand why someone making that much money would need a part-time job.
I'm sure it is not about the money but more for her career development.
have you seen her husband?
No I have not but that 20K raise would get a rise out of me.have you seen her husband?
There are two sides to the story here.
First is that Sculley is very well paid in respect to other city managers. She is the highest paid in Texas and one of the highest paid in the nation. I've seen nothing definitive about her actual rank in the nation, but Phoenix City Manager Frank Fairbanks makes $242,446 a year starting in July.
Second, it appears that if Hardberger had accurately and fully portrayed the contract, there may have been more dissension in her contract approval.
Third, if you think San Antonio can weather the coming economic disaster, you are grossly mistaken. I will say that SA is much better off than other places, but being concerned about economics - yes even in the hotbed of SA - is justified.
Fourth, the woman had a year on her contract (correct me if I'm wrong here). Why not let it play out and then re-up? From what I've watched/read, it doesn't sound like she was even asking for more money.
Still, from everything I've read she's worth $500,000 a year. I really posted the video because its so damn funny but as I was looking up articles for the above bullets, I saw a number of great things about her. She's pushing it with the whole managing the 7th largest city thing and taking a professorship, but maybe she is just that damn good.
Edit: Also, what happened to just fulfilling your contract and doing the best job you can? If you're worth it, you will be rewarded one way or the other. Apparently she was going to do that before HB threw cash at her.

If Sculley was able to find $30 Mil left over from projects 25 years old ,then she can keep the $20 grand.
SO, is she really that good or does she just seem like a good manager because our previous managers sucked so bad?
