Mrs. Girone states that as a member of the Personnel Czmmittee, it was their recoau~ndation that
the pay scale for the Fire Chief and Police Chief should be upgraded from Grade 29 to Grade 31 with
an additional increase at this time. She adds that when the County enacted 'the pay scale it was
known that some categories x~uld have to be changed and because of the 24 hour availability of these
two men, the large staffs that have to be supervised, the highly trained and qualified men in the
positions and the emergency situations that have to be dealt with they deserve what is recoranended.
Mr. Apperson states he is not concerned with the pay grade being upgraded but he does not feel the
extra raise should be considered because it was not included in either department's budget, it could
be setting a precedent for others and he feels no methodology was used in determining which depart-
ment heads pay scales should be increased.
Mr, ~dd states ha understands Mr. ~person's feelings and ha too agrees this should have been
done at budget time. ~ adds that these two men do a fine job Md should have some consideration
