More budget increases planned by city council

HORSE CAVE

Council members made several changes Thursday night to the city’s 2009-10 proposed budget, including employee pay raises.

On Tuesday night Mayor Odell Martin proposed to give City Clerk Ann Matera and Licensing Clerk Brenda Crain each a 4 percent pay increase.

He also proposed to increase the police chief and assistant chief’s salaries from $12.39 to $15.51 per hour, an increase of $2.58 per hour, which is higher than what was proposed for Matera and Crain.

“Our pay is very much under Cave City and it is under Munfordville,” said Martin. “Cave City has just raised their officers all to $15 per hour.”

He also pointed out that Munfordville’s police chief is earning $15 per hour, while the rest of the police officers earn $14 per hour.

Martin said he believed the city should take care of its police officers and pay them well, because if the city didn’t, it would lose the police officers it has to other cities who can offer better pay.

Councilwoman Sue Nunn said she didn’t have a problem with the proposed $2.58 per hour raise for the police officers, but said she felt like Matera and Crain should receive the same amount.

“I just can’t see how we can leave them out,” she said.

The council then proposed a 6 percent pay increase for Matera and Crain, plus the city’s four police officers.

“I can live with 6 percent,” said Councilman Randall Curry, even though he said he has heard some complaints about the city’s police department. “There is some question about how efficient our police department is because people say they never see them.”

The proposed 6 percent pay increase brings Matera’s pay up to $15.07 from $14.22 per hour, and Crain’s pay to $10.20 from $9.62. According to a notation in an explanation of city employee salaries and benefits, this will be the first pay increase Matera and Crain have had since July 2007.

The city’s police chief and assistant police chief’s salaries will increase to $13.71 from $12.93 per hour, while the other two police officers salaries will increase to $11.66 per hour from $10 per hour.

The city has recently hired a new police officer, who will begin working for the city at a rate of $10 per hour.

The policemen’s pay raises do not include their incentive pay or hazardous duty retirement.

The council also agreed to increase the salary of one of the city’s maintenance department employees so that both employees salaries are in line with another.
