NEW BUSINESS |
The Board had a discussion of high level salaries for County Facilities, Agencies and Authorities.
Freeholder Sutton talked about the 4% raise that was awarded to ACCC President Dr. Mora. At this time, particularly with the economy, a 4% raise to $175,000.00 is high.
Chairman Curcio inquired as to management level increases in the County. The County cannot justify salaries with a 4% increase.
Freeholder Formica questioned as to what authority the Board has regarding authorities. As we appoint Board members, we need to give guidelines.
Freeholder Schroeder stated that the Board should have some authority over the authorities that were created by the County. There should be some equity between the County employees and Authority employees (i.e. furlough days). Perhaps the Board can send a message.
Freeholder McDevitt stated that Dr. Mora is an asset to the college and he is not only running the college, but bringing in students from Rutgers and working on the 20/20 College Improvement Program.
Freeholder Giordano stated that it is somewhat of a disservice to Dr. Mora. Dr. Mora is taking the same percentage as his department heads, plus kicking in for insurance.
Freeholder Cooper requested a list of salaries. |
