City Employee Pay Rates

So I went to the City of Newport Beach's website to pay a parking ticket when I just happened to see this, which lists every City position and it's pay range.

Interesting thing?

A Regular Councilman gets $13,790.41 a year.

The Mayor gets $19,565.10 a year.

I hear the Councilmembers spend an average of 30-40 hours a week working on City stuff, while the Mayor, in speaking with him, as well as some former Mayors, average 40-50 hours a week.

Which is probably heavier than normal due to the City Hall/Albatross/White Elephant debate and the Sober Living/Rehab Home issue.

But still, can you imagine working a "normal" job, then having to work on City Council stuff, then having to deal with family?

Not enough time in the day.

Can't say they do it for the money...
