Reform 2.1: Compensation and Labor Contracts

Post All City Compensation and Labor Contracts Online.

Other Information:

Budgeted salaries contained in the annual budget are only a fraction of the total compensation paid to city employees. To provide full disclosure on these matters, the city should publish the total compensation for every classification in city government, providing a range of base salary and maximum specialty pays available for each classification to display a potential maximum “base.” Additionally, the city should post online the actual earnings of city positions – with names redacted – for the preceding fiscal year. Finally, all current labor contracts should be posted online in a readily accessible fashion – along with the last 3 iterations of the labor contract to allow for easy comparison. This transparency will allow taxpayers to determine whether excessive compensation continues in city government, and better understand the intricacies of city labor costs.
