Title
Discussion and action on request from Rick Myers for additional compensation
Body
SUMMARY:
Rick Myers is retiring from the City of Crossville through the retirement incentive package. He had previously requested additional compensation for his certification for graduating from the Police Academy in 1997. He went through the Academy to allow him to carry a gun as an arson investigator. This request was verified through our records and approved in the amount of $4,979.75 by the City Manager.
Mr. Myers is now requesting a 10% increase from 1985. He has a newsletter showing that the City Manager at that time named him as Assistant Fire Chief and did not give him additional compensation. All personnel files, records, and minutes have been checked and there is no documentation of this promotion or the intent of additional compensation. The City Manager does not recommend this additional compensation. This should have been handled at the time by previous City Managers and Councils, if that was their intention.
As requested at the December work session, the Finance Director reported that the 10% would total $13,085.17, based on W-2 records. A conversation was had with Charlie Akins, the City Manager in 1985, who does not recall any compensation being offered.
