The communication dated November 12, 1975 from the Local Officers Compensa-
tion Commission with respect to Elected Officials Salaries, was received and filed for
the information of the Council with the following comments relative to the Commission's
Resolution No. 16-75, establishing the salary of the City Treasurer
Councilman Bennett I object to the determination made in their Resolution
No. 16-75.
Councilman Bishop Inasmuch as I have previously stated that I am in favor
of combining the offices of City Clerk and City Treasurer, I also object.
Councilman Raymond Inasmuch as the citizens of the City of Livonia have
Ldecided, at the polls, that the office of City Treasurer should be continued, I feel
that the salary should be commensurate with the lowest paid Civil Service employee.
Salaries of the City Clerk and the City Treasurer in no way encompass the work they
perform. A salary of $14,500 for City Treasurer and $17,000 for City Clerk is neither
fitting or becoming.
Councilman Ventura I approve of the salaries.
