First, it <br /> Ann Puzzello removes the difficulty for the next Council of being <br /> Fourth District faced with setting its own salaries. Second, by freezing <br /> Council salaries at their current level, Council salaries <br /> Linas Slavinskas will remain appropriately below the wages of full time <br /> Fifth District City employees. Third, at a time when the City is <br /> Thomas Zakrzewski considering COIT and CEDIT, there must be a clear message <br /> Sixth District to the citizens that none of these revenues will go <br /> toward increasing Council Members salaries. <br /> Sean Coleman <br /> At Large As part time elected officials, we are fairly compensated <br /> Loretta Duda for our duties. The current level of compensation allows <br /> At Large those who choose to serve as City Council members to do <br /> so without creating financial hardship on themselves or <br /> Eugene Ladewski their families and does not deter qualified candidates <br /> At Large from running for office. <br /> Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand <br /> Council Attorney We ask for your support for this bill and look forward to <br /> discussing this proposal in committee. <br /> If you have any questions, please feel free to contact <br /> either of us. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> f _ r z .
