Salary negotiations with the newly selected County administrator have concluded with a proposed starting salary of $132,500. The County Commissioners must now either approve the negotiated salary or reject it - most likely on May 12th.
This salary will make the County Administrator the highest paid employee of the BCC eclipsing the $125,000 salary of the TDC Director and $32,636 more than the previous County Administrator.

wrobertBeach FanaticDeFuniak Springs4,132 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticIt is my understanding he will receive a car and other benefits that were not available to the previous County Administrator and the benefits when added to the salary comes to an increase over what he was making as Destin City Manager. He did not have a car and the other benefits while Destin City Manager, thus an increase in compensation.
Those benefits were available, Mr. Bell chose not to accept them. According to the NWFDN the salary is a $16K increase over what he was making in Destin. And prior to the meeting a highly connected developer once again went into the back room where the commissioners are before they meet.
Kenneth Pridgen did say you get what you pay for nowadays according to a quote in the paper. Seeing what commissioners a getting paid it makes me wonder.

What is the connection between the developer and Kisella?

No idea. Maybe he was there on something else. I just thought it strange since I was told that practice was going to be stopped.

GeoBeach FanaticSanta Rosa Beach, FL2,740 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticMany CEO's take a dollar when the company is in dire straits. I'm sure those who are struggling to live and looking at pay cuts will appreciate the big dogs getting paid. And what good does getting 8 million do if we are going to waste it on tripe like "to each your beach."
Don't look now but you're dangerously close to making a class warfare argument! Lol

You may have a point there. But I would rather think of it as a loyalty argument. In other words, dance with the one that brung you.
