Salaries

Does anyone know what salaries are paid to Administration and employee's of the City of Hays? Is there a website with information in regard to this matter?

I feel ths public should be informed.

Every one gets paid according to family tree.

I saw something on the news last nite about GB salaries, so it must be out there somewhere.

Sorry it took so long to find your info.

Fascinating stuff, that budget. Got to reading it and found all kinds of stuff nobody says too much about. Airport is interesting:

2007 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
● Reconstruction of northwest portion of apron area
● Fed Ex feeder flight
● Master Plan update
● Construction of hangar to house Beechcraft 1900

MAJOR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR 2008
1. Continue Essential Air Service funding
2. Continue Dual Hub status
3. Continue commercial boardings of 10,000 passengers per year
4. Establish recreational charter flights
5. Increase annual commercial boardings by 10%
6. Establish a Highway Patrol helicopter base
7. Install Taxiway M lighting
8. Construct Airport Air Rescue Firefighting facility

The Public Safety Equipment fund $629,465

Significant Issues for 2008
1. Purchase three fully equipped police package patrol cars; total cost $123,600.
2. Purchase a fourth rescue-pumper, $280,000.
3. Both Police Department and Fire Department replacement/new equipment funding is included in this account for the
first time; $61,000. This funding was previously included in the General Fund

1. Continue to phase-in the purchase and replacement of police patrol cars until all police officers have an assigned
vehicle. This program is intended to increase the service life of patrol cars from two (2) to eight ( years and provide
for a stronger major emergency or disaster response program using recalled off-duty police officers.
2. Purchase a fourth pumper-ladder truck for the Fre Department to support the operation of the 33rd Street fire station
and the proposed airport fire station. This will provide an adequate number of fire trucks to protect the city based on
the recommendations of the Insurance Services Office.
3. In 2008, the city will have one pumper fire truck, three rescue pumper trucks, two pumper-ladder trucks and the
airport crash truck in operation with an average nine (9) years of service. The 1981 pumper truck is scheduled for
replacement in 2009.

Meanwhile streets need repair. and the HCVB sits empty...

Did you register for the trip yet?

No, but I found the blue polycart files.
And the HBVC files.

So with that travel expense the commissioner's can motor to Salina for a week-end retreat to work on "business". To boring in Hays I assume?

Then this past month the trip to Washington D. C. that Chris Channel could go along on but never can find time to attend City meetings?

This is very informative as to how our taxes are spent. I thought the City Commissioners had a duty to represent the taxpayers to the best of their ability. I didn't read such.

Thanks for the information. Where did you locate this information?

And you thought the county was corrupt...

OOPS, I gave you the City Managers not the commissioners. Hang on I'll get theirs.
