HERE WE GO AGAIN. BURLINGTON’S ACTING FIRE CHIEF HAS CHANGED HIS MIND FOR THE SECOND TIME AND IS EXPECTED TO BE SWORN IN TONITE(MON) AS PERMANENT CHIEF. WHAT’S DIFFERENT, YOU MAY WONDER? WELL, MATT TREXEL AND CITY MANAGER JIM FERNEAU HAVE BEEN TALKING AND FERNEAU HAS DECIDED TO BUMP THE NEW CHIEF’S STARTING SALARY TO 79-THOUSAND DOLLARS, INSTEAD OF 77-THOUSAND…AND RAISE IT AGAIN TO ABOUT 82- IN JULY. POLICE CHIEF DOUG BEAIRD’S PAY WILL ALSO BE INCREASED FROM 77- TO 79- IMMEDIATELY AND THEN TO THE SAME AS TREXEL’S IN JULY. THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO RATIFY TREXEL’S APPOINTMENT TONITE(MON).

ALSO ON THE AGENDA ARE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S HOUSING CODE, MAKING IT TOUGHER ON BAD LANDLORDS…AND MEMBERS WILL BE ASKED TO RAISE RATES AT FLINT HILLS AND TO RENT PARK SHELTERS. TONITE’S(MON) MEETING IS AT 6:30 AND THE PUBLIC IS WELCOME.
