Firefighters top city salaries - Union City releases employee earnings for 2006
Every full-time Union City firefighter earned more than $100,000 last year and the Fire Department accounted for nearly half of all city employees earning six figures, according to city data. Citywide, former police Chief Randy Ulibarri made the most money in 2006 with $220,256, followed by City Manager Larry Cheeves with $212,730. Rounding out the top five were Battalion Chief Ronald Oatis, $196,040; Battalion Chief Michael Brown, $191,721; and police Capt. Greg Stewart, $189,747. The Argus requested Union City's salary figures for calendar year 2006 last month after the California Supreme Court ruled that governments must reveal what they pay employees. Of about 305 full-time city employees, 98 earned more than $100,000 last year, said Rich Digre, who oversees the city's budget. The Fire Department accounted for 42 six-figure earners, compared with 35 for the Police Department. For sworn Union City police officers who made at least $70,000 in base salary last year, the average salary was $105,250 and the average overtime earnings was $8,204. Their counterparts in Fremont averaged $124,226 in total salary and $12,760 in overtime. In Fremont, average pay for firefighters was $137,404, and average overtime pay was $29,242.

Corruption charges bring cheers, tears in California suburb
USA Today
LOS ANGELES — Corruption charges brought against the mayor and seven other current or former officials in the suburban city of Bell were met with honking horns, cheers and tears of joy by area residents who have been following for weeks the stories claiming misused millions.
"I got so excited that, oh my God, I couldn't breathe," said Violeta Alvarez, who has lived in Bell for 31 years. "I'm excited. I'm happy. I have tears of joy in my eyes."
Another woman, Christina Garcia, said the wheels of justice have been turning too slowly. "From day one, we've been asking, 'Why aren't these individuals in jail?'" Garcia said. "I think today everyone's feeling vindicated for everything they've been doing."
The officials were being arraigned Wednesday on multiple counts of misappropriating more than $5.5 million, including making illegal personal loans with city money and taking pay for attending phantom committee meetings.
"Corruption on steroids" is how Los Angeles County District Attorney Steve Cooley described the case after an early morning sweep by police took all eight into custody.
Bell Mayor Oscar Hernandez, 63, was arrested at his home after police used a battering ram. Robert Rizzo, 56, who resigned as city manager in July following disclosures by the Los Angeles Times that he was being paid nearly $800,000 annually, was arrested at his luxury Huntington Beach home.
JULY: City council votes to slash officials' pay 90%
IN BELL, CALIF.: City leaders' pay sparks outcry
Rizzo faces 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest, Cooley said. Prosecutors were seeking to have bail set at $3.2 million.
Rizzo, who was making nearly $800,000 a year, was booked on 53 counts of misappropriation of public funds and conflict of interest. Messages left at his home and with his attorney were not returned.
Cooley alleged that Rizzo wrote his own employment contracts that were never approved by the City Council. He said the charges also allege that Rizzo gave nearly $1.9 million in unauthorized loans to himself and others.
Also arrested were former assistant city manager Angela Spaccia, 52; Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo, 52; council members George Mirabal, 60, and Luis Artiga, 49; and former council members George Cole, 60, and Victor Bello, 51. Spaccia was making $376,288, and four of the five City Council members were paying themselves nearly $100,000 a year. Bell's city elections are non-partisan.
Bell's interim chief administrative officer Pedro Carrillo said the arrests marked a sad day for the city. "It's clear that Rizzo and Spaccia were at the root of the cancer that has afflicted the city," he said.
The district attorney said records show that between 2006 and this year, council members were paid nearly $8,000 a month for meetings on four boards that never took place or lasted just a few minutes, in violation of state law. The pay totaled a combined $1.25 million, prosecutors charged.
Bell, a city of 40,000 people, was paying its officials far more than those of other cities, small or large, in the state. Last week, Attorney General Jerry Brown filed suit accusing Bell officials of defrauding taxpayers by granting salaries higher than warranted.

"The word pay period is used and not defined in order to protect you from someone taking the time to add up your salary,'' Spaccia wrote in one e-mail cited in the prosecution's filing. The prosecutors said Adams wrote in a separate e-mail, "I am looking forward to seeing you and taking all of Bell's money?! Okay ... just a share of it,'' and that Spaccia responded, "LOL ... well you can take your share of the pie ... just like us. We will all get fat together.'' "Bob has an expression he likes to use on occasion ... pigs get fat ... hogs get slaughtered!!! So as long as we're not hogs ... all is well,'' the document quotes Spaccia as e-mailing. Now, the city is faced with gaping debt and the possible disbandment of its police force.
Ousted Bell City Manager Posts $2M Bail
Former Bell City Manager Robert Rizzo Pleads Not Guilty to DUI - His charges stem from a March 6 drunk driving arrest in Huntington Beach, where a blood-alcohol test revealed that the man had a BAC level of .28 at the time of his arrest. That's more than three times the legal limit. Up until last month, Robert Rizzo worked as the city manager for the city of Bell in Los Angeles County. However, the city official resigned after being widely criticized for his high salary of almost $800,000 per year. Many people in the Bell community were outraged when they learned of the high wages of the city manager and assistant city manager from the Los Angeles Times.
Robert Rizzo DUI: Disgraced City Manager Pleads Guilty to DUI Charges - WESTMINSTER (KTLA)-- Disgraced former Bell city manager, Robert Rizzo, pleaded guilty Wednesday to driving under the influence of alcohol. Rizzo, 56, was arrested March 6 for driving with a blood alcohol level of .28 -- more than three times the legal limit -- after someone called police saying that a man had crashed into a mailbox and drove into an alley in Huntington Beach where Rizzo has a home. Arresting officers said Rizzo was so unstable they had to stop a field sobriety test.

Eight Dems Arrested in Bell, CA 'Corruption on Steroids' - Not a Single Mention of Party Affiliation From Media
Newsbusters
Today, eight city council members were arrested in Bell, California for what Los Angeles County District Attorney labeled "corruption on steroids." Thus far, every major news outlet that has reported on the story has omitted the fact that all eight individuals arrested are Democrats.
These glaring omissions come only weeks after NewsBusters reported that of the 351 stories on the then-brewing controversy, 350 had omitted party affiliations, and one had mentioned they were Democrats only in apologizing for not doing so sooner.
ABC, CBS, the Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press, Bloomberg, USA Today, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, and the San Francisco Chronicle all reported on the arrests today without mentioning party affiliations.
One commenter at CNN's online story got it spot on: "I notice there is no mention of the party affiliation of the accused. I can find no mention of it in any story on the internet. This must mean they were all Democrats."
Give the man a cigar.
Together, the eight city officials "misappropriated" $5.5 million in municipal funds. Robert Rizzo, the chief culprit, was arrested on 53 counts of various brands of corruption.
Before the scandal came to light, Rizzo had been making roughly $1.5 million per year, even though the per capita income in Bell is roughly half the national average.
Pedro Carillo, Bell's interim city manager, released a statement on the arrests today:
Given the sheer volume of charges levied against former Bell Chief Administrative Officer Robert Rizzo and former Assistant CAO Angela Spaccia by the district attorney, it is clear that Rizzo and Spaccia were at the root of the cancer that has afflicted the City of Bell. Also, it is a sad day for Bell that four current and two former members of the council also have been arrested. I am prepared to double down our efforts to continue to restore order, establish good government reforms, and to ensure that Bell is providing needed services to its residents.
Despite arrests in one of the most massive cases of municipal corruption in recent memory, no media outlet could bring itself to mention the officials' party affiliations, a fact that has been widely reported since the scandal entered the national spotlight.

BELL COUNCILMAN SAYS EVERYTHING WENT THROUGH CITY MANAGER
Feb 8, 2011
The only member of the Bell City Council not criminally charged as a result of the public corruption probe testified Tuesday that former City Manager Robert Rizzo virtually ruled the small blue-collar city in Southeast Los Angeles County.
“Everything had to go through” Rizzo, Lorenzo Velez testified on the second day of the preliminary hearing for six of the eight current and former city officials charged in the case.
Velez told the court that any issue to come before the Bell City Council had to first be approved by Rizzo.
“He wanted to authorize everything that needed to be done,” Velez said.
Superior Court Judge Henry J. Hall will determine if there is enough evidence to require them to stand trial on charges that they helped loot the small Los Angeles suburb of about $5.5 million.
In what is expected to continue through Thursday at the downtown courthouse, Hall is first hearing the case against Mayor Oscar Hernandez, 63; Vice Mayor Teresa Jacobo, 53; Councilman George Mirabal, 61, and former councilmen Luis Artiga, 49; George Cole, 61; and Victor Bello, 52.
After finishing the current preliminary hearing for the six defendants, Hall is expected to hear evidence next week against Rizzo, 57; former Assistant City Manager Angela Spaccia, 52; as well as additional charges against Hernandez and Artiga.
Rizzo is also charged with conflict of interest and misappropriation of records in a separate case that is expected to be heard last and to take about a day.
“Never in the history of the state of California has there been a case where the members of a city council [have been charged with] paying themselves illegal salaries,” Deputy District Attorney Edward Miller told the judge Monday in an opening statement. “The facts are so extreme.”
In summing up the 20 charges facing the three current and three former members of the Bell City Council, Miller told of city commissions that either never met or met only a few times, but resulted in huge salaries for council members.
Ron Kaye, Cole’s attorney, tried Tuesday to get Velez to admit that he was also paid for his role in two of the allegedly phantom city agencies.
Velez, however, denied the charge, telling the judge that “I really didn’t [know] that I was participating in these two committees” since the meetings supposedly took place during city council meetings.
Velez was expected to resume testifying Wednesday, followed on the stand by the Bell city clerk.
The eight officials were arrested Sept. 21 in connection with allegations that they bilked taxpayers out of roughly $5.5 million through hefty salaries, benefits and illicit loans of public money.
The eight have pleaded not guilty, and all but Bello have been freed on bail.
Rizzo and other top city officials stepped down last July after the salary scandal broke.
The City Council members, who were earning almost $100,000 a year, significantly slashed their pay, but most balked at calls for their resignations.
Artiga announced last October that he was leaving his post, saying “it’s in the best interest for the city of Bell that I resign.”
Lawyers for six current and former Bell City Council members said their clients have rejected plea deals that would have brought them two-year prison terms in exchange for admitting guilt and paying back all the money they allegedly looted from the city treasury.
Alcoholic city manager Robert Rizzo
Audio: Ex-Bell Manager Rizzo Has A New Gig -- Parking Attendant
Disgraced former Bell official spotted in OC
January 13, 2011
HUNTINGTON BEACH (CBS) — The former Bell city manager who became nationally infamous for his huge salary is now volunteering as a parking lot attendant.
And KNX 1070′s Jon Baird reports some Orange County locals say the gig is too good for him.
Visitors to Huntington Beach might catch a glimpse of Robert Rizzo behind the Surfing Museum, standing guard over the tiny parking lot.
It’s a volunteer gig that may be related to a DUI conviction in which has to perform 80 hours of community service.
Los Angeles Times columnist Steve Lopez tells KNX 1070 he caught Rizzo lounging that vaguely resembled “Jabba the Hut”.
Although his name and rotund stature have grown all too familiar to residents here in the Southland, some say it’s still a bit jarring to have a man charged with misappropriating public funds hanging around a local parking lot.
L.A. council's salaries are highest among 15 key cities, new study finds
Compared with their legislative counterparts in key major cities nationwide, members of the Los Angeles City Council draw the highest salaries, are least likely to be first-termers and represent the largest population per council seat.
Those are among the findings of a new study by the Pew Charitable Trusts that compares councils in 15 cities at a time when the recession and its aftermath have battered the finances of many local governments. The study looks at issues such as budgets, staffing, salaries, tenure and representation of African Americans and Latinos.
The study found that Los Angeles has the nation’s highest average salary -- $178,789 -- for its 15 council members. San Antonio has the lowest, at just $1,400.
Pay differences, the study noted, reflect a wide varieties of conditions, rules and histories in the various cities, and the fact that some council positions are considered part time. Los Angeles is one of two cities that bar members from supplementing their official pay, the study noted.
Los Angeles also ranked as the city with the greatest population per council seat, about 255,000. That compares with about 164,000 per seat in New York and 57,000 in Chicago. That’s because the size of city councils varies widely, the study found, with New York’s body having the most members at 51, Chicago the second most at 50 and Los Angeles coming in a distant third with 15. San Diego has the fewest members, eight.
The study found that, generally, African Americans were overrepresented on city councils studied and Latinos were underrepresented. Those trends held up in Los Angeles, where 20% of the members are African American (who constitute about 10% of the city’s population), and one-third of council members have Latino ancestry in a city that is almost 50% Latino.
Across all 15 councils, the study found, more than one-third of members were serving their first terms at the end of 2010. The percentage in Los Angeles was 13%, the lowest among the 15 cities. Eight of the 15 cities, including Los Angeles, impose term limits on service, ranging from six to 12 years.

Deals Gap Sheriff: Budget cuts threaten 47 staff positions
By Joel Davis joeld@thedailytimes.com
Blount County Sheriff James Berrong says cutting his budget by 12.8 percent would cost his office 47 positions.
In a Feb. 15 letter to the Blount County Budget Committee, Berrong wrote, “The 12.8 percent budget decrease that is recommended for all county departments would equate to 47 employees at the Sheriff’s Office, not counting reductions in operating expenses with the total amount ... equaling $2.5 million.
“Please keep in mind that the majority of what we do at the Sheriff’s Office is statutory duties as outlined in the Tennessee Code Annotated. Gentlemen, per capita, we spend less now than we did four years ago with an increasing demand for our services.”
Berrong will present his request for a $10.4 million Sheriff’s Office budget and a $7.1 million jail budget for the 2011-2012 fiscal year at a work session at 5:30 p.m. today in Room 430 of the Blount County Courthouse. His request is for a $190,277 increase to the Sheriff’s Office budget and a $164,678 reduction in the jail budget.
In other business, the Blount County General Sessions Judges office is requesting a $945,539 budget, which represents a $7,439 reduction from the current levels. State law sets the salary of the general sessions judges.
The Budget Committee is recommending that the upcoming 2011-2012 county general fund budget be slashed by 12.8 percent from current levels to deal with a deficit that could reach $7 million in the upcoming fiscal year. The County Commission must approve the fiscal year 2011-2012 budget by June 30. Various county departments and offices will be presenting their budget requests at hearings through March.
So far, budget requests from other departments have varied:
County Mayor Ed Mitchell is proposing a $789,797 cut in the budgets under his control during fiscal year 2011-2012. Five employees will lose their jobs while another four positions will be eliminated through attrition.
The County Highway Department is proposing to cut costs by $120,000 in the upcoming budget through eliminating expenditures for bridge replacement. The Budget Committee did not request that the Highway Department cut its budget by 12.8 percent.
The Election Commission is asking for a $2,575 increase in the next fiscal year from its current budget of $584,114.
Sheriff and his top officials got generous increases in compensation
Citizens for Better Government
March 2011
MARYVILLE, TENN. -- When the Mayor asked the Sheriff to cut 12.8% from his budget, he refused. In fact, he increased his budget. The fact that he is spending nearly 25% more than the average of Sheriff’s departments in the three Tennessee counties closest to Blount County in population did not faze Sheriff Berrong at all.
All the while, the Sheriff has failed to point out that he, and many of his top officials, have been generously compensated over the last few years. The table below shows their compensation increases far exceed those of most taxpayers, who will struggle to pay the 21% tax increase that is the result of the refusal of some of our county officials to trim their budgets.
At the recent meeting the Mayor held with county employees, several high profile members of the Sheriff’s department attacked the Mayor for only taking a 12.8% salary cut, while they claimed, they had not had a salary increase in years. Then, these Sheriff’s officials launched an attack on the schools and teacher’s salaries.
The Talbott family, Ron and wife Cathy, took top compensation honors, with a combined compensation rising from $103,394 in 2007 to $111,305 in 2010. The top ten Sheriff’s officials in compensation enjoyed increases from 6.5% to 28.9% from 2007 to 2010. In addition, virtually all the 41 officials listed also have tax-free county-owned take home cars (many are unmarked cars and SUVs), free gas at the county pump, free insurance and free maintenance. They also enjoy excellent medical benefits, fully paid by the county, and generous retirement benefits. These benefits are worth at least another $10,000 to $15,000 in compensation.
The most boisterous critics of the Mayor and the schools, at the recent employee meeting, Rick Baker and Jarrod Millsaps, enjoyed compensation increases of 7.6% and 22.1% respectively.
Disturbingly, Sheriff’s officials who demonstrated highly questionable ethics over the last few years, seemed to do quite well. Talbott was a key player in an alleged scheme that resulted in a seized NASCAR-edition truck being sold to one of his relatives, without an auction, at a price that was many thousands of dollars below its value. Baker, along with Wiburn and England used county funds to purchase bogus college diplomas. Yet, they all saw compensation increases. In fact, we understand that Baker was promoted, and is now in charge of training new officers.
Before the Sheriff and his friends start throwing stones at the schools, other county departments, and the taxpayers, they need to look inward.

Traffic stop steals $4M hidden in truck in Cumberland County
March 16, 2011
MONTEREY, Tenn. — The Tennessee Highway Patrol discovered more than $4 million cash hidden inside a tractor-trailer during a traffic stop along Interstate 40 in Cumberland County over the weekend, calling it a record seizure of suspected drug funds for the state.
State troopers discovered the bills inside duct-taped bundles within sealed cases of bottled water in the California-based trailer during a stop at mile marker 306 on westbound I-40 near Monterey just after 10:30 a.m. Saturday, according to a Tennessee Department of Safety press statement.
The truck initially was stopped for following too closely. After receiving consent to search the truck’s cab and trailer, a drug-sniffing K-9 from the Monterey Police Department was called for assistance.
The K-9 received alerts from the trailer, which was then moved to a local trucking company where it was off-loaded.
A total of $4,078,713 was seized, according to the press statement.
Federal authorities later charged Armando Guzman, 42, of Moreno Valley, Calif. and co-driver Javier Cruz, 44, of San Jacinto, Calif. with interstate travel with intent to promote drug trafficking conspiracy.
Comments
If they didn't find any illegal substances related to drugs then this is a bogus bust. The last time I checked, possession of any amount of U.S. currency is perfectly legal. The fact that the drug sniffing dog alerted on the truck doesn't mean anything if the search didn't uncover drugs.
Michigan bill for financial Martial Law
Michigan lawmakers are on the verge of approving a bill that would enable the governor to appoint "emergency managers" -- officials with unilateral power to make sweeping changes to cities facing financial troubles.
Under the legislation, the Michigan Messenger reports, the governor could declare a "financial emergency" in towns or school districts. He could then appoint a manager to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, eliminate services - and even eliminate whole cities or school districts without any public input.
The measure passed in the state Senate this week; the House passed its own version earlier. The two versions of the bill are expected to be reconciled next week, and Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has said he will sign the bill the bill into law.
Democrats and their allies are decrying the legislation as a power grab and say it's part of a wider effort taking place in several states, such as Wisconsin, to weaken labor unions.
"It takes every decision in a city or school district and puts it in the hands of the manager, from when the streets get plowed to who plows them and how much they are paid," said Mark Gaffney, president of the Michigan State AFL-CIO. "This is a takeover by the right wing and it's an assault on democracy like I've never seen."
U.S. Rep. John Conyers, a Democrat who represents Detroit, said in a statement that in a given city, the governor's new "financial czar" could "force a municipality into bankruptcy, a power that will surely be used to extract further concessions from hardworking public sector workers."
He said the legislation raises "serious constitutional concerns." On top of that, he said, allowing an "emergency manager" to dissolve locally elected bodies "implicitly targets minority communities that are disproportionately impacted by the economic downturn, without providing meaningful support for improved economic opportunity."
Republican state Sen. Jack Brandenburg said several urban areas of the state, especially Detroit, are in "bad shape" and require "financial martial law," the Daily Tribune reports.
The emergency manager, he said, "has to have the backbone, he has to have the power, to null and void a contract." In response to concerns that local leaders will have to cede control, Brandenburg said, "I'll tell you what, I think that in a lot of these places there is no control."
An emergency manager would only be put in place if several other steps to save a city's finances failed, and Snyder has said in recent weeks that removing elected officials or breaking contracts would be a last resort for an emergency manager. In addition, the legislature would have the power to remove an emergency manager.
As the "emergency manager" bill nears final passage, state lawmakers are also considering Snyder's proposed budget, which would cut spending on schools, universities, prisons and communities, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Snyder has also proposed eliminating $1.7 billion in tax breaks for individuals while cutting $1.8 billion in taxes for businesses to spur job growth. Much of the $1.7 billion in new tax revenue would be "coming from retirees, senior citizens and the working poor," the Free Press wrote in an editorial.
Lifeguards' high pay riles Calif. beach city
May 20, 2011
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Aurora Toussaint brings her disabled son to the sun-kissed beaches of this Southern California city almost every day in the summer, knowing that the lifeguards who watch from their towers will be there in seconds should anything go wrong.
Yet Toussaint, was shocked to learn that most of the fulltime lifeguards in this city earn well over $100,000 in total compensation a year — including salary, overtime and benefits — more than Toussaint made in her previous life as a nurse and more than she believes is right in an economy where pink slips have become common fare.
"When I first heard that I was amazed at how much they make. To think that these are lifeguards! That's more than some doctors make," said Toussaint, 55, who retired early to care for her seizure-prone son. "It does kind of make me feel like, `Gosh, maybe I should be a lifeguard.'"
That's the kind of reaction Newport Beach's 13-member fulltime lifeguard crew has drawn this month, since the local newspaper editorialized about lifeguard salaries, benefits and overtime pay that in at least two instances top $200,000 as the city struggles to rein in pension costs.
Base salaries for Newport Beach lifeguards range from $58,000 for the lowest-paid officer to $108,492 for the top-paid battalion chief, according to a 2010 city report on lifeguard pay.
With overtime only added in, more than half of the 13 cleared $100,000 and the rest made between $59,500 and $98,500. Adding in pension contributions, medical benefits, life insurance and other pay, two battalion chiefs earned more than $200,000 in 2010, while the lowest-paid officer made more than $98,000.
All lifeguards received $400 sunglass allowances and two cleared $28,000 apiece in overtime and night duty pay.
The ensuing debate over the merits of having lifeguards as well-paid as some CEOs has divided this wealthy coastal city, spawned a pro-lifeguard Facebook page and created headlines as far away as England ("Time for a Career Change? California's Baywatch lifeguards paid up to $210,000 per year!").
The swell of anger from beachgoers and budget-watchers alike has blindsided the lifeguards, who have for years enjoyed the prestige of their jobs in an ocean-centric town that banks on summer tourism. Now, as the pressure mounts, they are balking at their portrayal as suntanned slackers lounging in beach towers as the surf rolls in.
Those whose salaries are in question point out that they hold management roles, have decades of service and are considered public safety employees under the fire department, the same as fire captains and battalion chiefs. The fulltime guards train more than 200 seasonal lifeguards who make between $16 and $22 an hour, run a junior lifeguard program that brings in $1 million a year and oversee safety on nearly seven miles of sand.
And when the surf is really pumping — like it was late this week with 20-foot wave faces at the infamous Wedge — the supervisory lifeguards are just as busy as the seasonal staff with dangerous rescues, said Brent Jacobsen, president of the Lifeguard Management Association, the lifeguards' union.
Many began as seasonal guards and worked their way into management roles and must stay certified as instructors in an array of advanced emergency, scuba and rescue techniques, Jacobsen said.
"Unfortunately, there's a lot of disinformation out there. People get this idea that we're talking about 17-year-old kids in lifeguard towers making $200,000 and that's not correct," he said. "We're professional level. Lifeguarding here is different than any other place in the entire world."
Newport Beach's lifeguards can retire at 50 with 90 percent of their salary with 30 years of service, according to state data.
"Because of the compensation, lifeguarding has evolved from a brief and youthful interlude into a career and that's probably what's most shocking," said Councilwoman Leslie Daigle, who added that in the winter the fulltime lifeguards stayed busy answering phones and painting guard towers. "I think people are looking for elected officials to be more fiscally conservative. We love lifeguards, but that's not the issue."
In budget talks, City Manager David Kiff proposed converting four of the fulltime positions to part-time status, an idea city council is expected to review.
The lifeguards' union is trying to avoid the reductions by striking a deal that could see them increase their pension contribution from 3.5 percent to 9 percent annually, while instituting a new pension tier for future hires, said Jacobsen. Three fulltime guarding positions that are now vacant because of retirements could also be eliminated, with staffing shifts among the remaining group to cover all duties, he said.
He acknowledged that the current pension benefit now seems excessive given the recession.
"It was reasonable at the time. When we were negotiating, people were making such ridiculous amounts of money on the real estate market and we don't get those big jumps in salary that the private sector does," he said.
Kiff believes the salaries the city's lifeguard supervisors earn are appropriate given the competitive job market for top-tier lifeguards in Southern California, but would like to see the pension scaled back.
In Los Angeles County, where guards patrol beaches from Santa Monica to Torrance, lifeguard salaries are fairly comparable, according to a public salary database on the state controller's website, but the retirement benefit is less. Staff who retire at age 50 with 30 years of service receive only 60 percent of their salary.
In San Diego, lifeguards make roughly the same salary range but must retire later, at age 55, and get 75 percent of their salary with 30 years of service.
"We compete for those jobs and we are in line with what they pay those folks," Kiff said. "I think people confuse professional guarding with the tower guards and they think, `Oh my gosh, how can a guy in red shorts sitting in a tower earn that?' We're not talking about those individuals."
Newport Beach attracted more than 7 million beachgoers last year and lifeguard supervisors oversaw 2,190 water rescues and more than 5,000 medical aid calls, while tower guards intervened more than 76,000 times to warn people of rip currents or high surf. Two people died each year in 2009 and 2010.
Still, for some, statistics will never justify such compensation.
Leonard Musgrave, a former oil company employee, was so outraged that he wrote a letter to the local paper, The Orange County Register, earlier this month inquiring why the city didn't simply put up a sign reading, "Swim at your own risk." The 69-year-old retiree said he isn't swayed by the lifeguards' responsibilities or years of service.
"I supervised 13, 14 engineers when I was working and I was making $111,000 when I retired three years ago with an MBA and a technical engineering degree," said Musgrave, who doesn't have a pension. "I mean, come on! All you have to do is look at good-looking women at the beach. I mean, they shouldn't even get paid! I'd do it for 10 percent of that pay. That's a good job."
Lifeguard Pay of $200G Riles California Beach City
May 20, 2011
Associated Press
NEWPORT BEACH. Calif. – Aurora Toussaint brings her disabled son to the sun-kissed beaches of this Southern California city almost every day in the summer, knowing that the lifeguards who watch from their towers will be there in seconds should anything go wrong.
Yet Toussaint, who quit work and dipped into her retirement early to care for her seizure-prone son, was shocked to learn that most of the fulltime lifeguards in this city earn well over $100,000 in total compensation a year - more than Toussaint made in her previous life as a nurse and more than she believes is right in an economy where pink slips have become common fare.
"When I first heard that I was amazed at how much they make. To think that these are lifeguards! That's more than some doctors make," said Toussaint, 55, as she sat by the beach with her son's therapy dog, Romeo. "It does kind of make me feel like, 'Gosh, maybe I should be a lifeguard.'"
That's the kind of reaction Newport Beach's 13-member fulltime lifeguard crew has drawn this month, since the local newspaper editorialized about lifeguard salaries, benefits and overtime pay that in at least two instances top $200,000 (with $400 for sun protection) as the city struggles to rein in pension costs.

"Unfortunately, there's a lot of disinformation out there. People get this idea that we're talking about 17-year-old kids in lifeguard towers making $200,000 and that's not correct," he said. "We're professional level. Lifeguarding here is different than any other place in the entire world."
Base salaries for Newport Beach lifeguards range from $58,000 for the lowest-paid officer to $108,492 for the top-paid battalion chief, according to a 2010 city report on lifeguard pay. Adding in overtime, special compensation, pension, medical benefits, life insurance and other pay, two battalion chiefs cleared more than $200,000 in 2010, while the lowest-paid officer made more than $98,000.
All lifeguards received $400 in sunscreen allowance and two cleared $28,000 apiece in overtime and night duty pay.
Newport Beach's lifeguards can also retire at 50 with 90 percent of their salary with 30 years of service, according to state data.
"Because of the compensation, lifeguarding has evolved from a brief and youthful interlude into a career and that's probably what's most shocking," said Councilwoman Leslie Daigle, who added that in the winter the fulltime lifeguards stayed busy answering phones and painting guard towers. "I think people are looking for elected officials to be more fiscally conservative. We love lifeguards, but that's not the issue."
In budget talks, City Manager David Kiff proposed converting four of the fulltime positions to part-time status, a move the full city council is expected to review in the coming weeks.
The lifeguards' union is trying to avoid the reductions by striking a deal that could see them increase their pension contribution from 3.5 percent to 9 percent annually, while instituting a new pension tier for future hires, said Jacobsen. Three fulltime guarding positions that are now vacant because of retirements could also be eliminated, with staffing shifts among the remaining group to cover all duties, he said.
He acknowledged that the current pension benefit now seems excessive given the recession.
"It was reasonable at the time. When we were negotiating, people were making such ridiculous amounts of money on the real estate market and we don't get those big jumps in salary that the private sector does," he said.
Kiff believes the salaries the city's lifeguard supervisors earn are appropriate given the competitive job market for top-tier lifeguards in Southern California, but would like to see the pension scaled back. What that will look like remains to be seen, however.
In Los Angeles County, where guards patrol beaches from Santa Monica to Torrance, lifeguard salaries are fairly comparable, according to a public salary database on the state controller's website, but the retirement benefit is less. Staff who retire at age 50 with 30 years of service receive only 60 percent of their salary.
In San Diego, where swimmers and surfers flock each summer, lifeguards make roughly the same salary range but must retire later, at age 55, and get 75 percent of their salary with 30 years of service, according to the 2009 state data, the most recent available.
"We compete for those jobs and we are in line with what they pay those folks," Kiff said. "You can go up to LA or San Diego and you're going to find folks who do the same for the same pay or sometimes higher....I think people confuse professional guarding with the tower guards and they think, 'Oh my gosh, how can a guy in red shorts sitting in a tower earn that?' We're not talking about those individuals."
Newport Beach attracted more than 7 million beachgoers last year during a slow summer of cool temperatures and lackluster surf. Lifeguard supervisors nevertheless oversaw 2,190 water rescues and more than 5,000 medical aid calls, while tower guards intervened more than 76,000 times to warn people of rip currents or high surf. Two people died each year in 2009 and 2010.
Still, for some, statistics will never justify such compensation.
Leonard Musgrave, a former oil company employee, was so outraged that he wrote a letter to the local paper, The Orange County Register, earlier this month inquiring why the city didn't simply put up a sign reading, "Swim at your own risk." The 69-year-old retiree said he isn't swayed by the lifeguards' responsibilities or years of service.
"I supervised 13, 14 engineers when I was working and I was making $111,000 when I retired three years ago with an MBA and a technical engineering degree," said Musgrave, who doesn't have a pension. "I mean, come on! All you have to do is look at good-looking women at the beach. I mean, they shouldn't even get paid! I'd do it for 10 percent of that pay. That's a good job."
SPANGLISH teacher Yvonne Chalom raked in $100,049 a year until the ruling arrived
Teacher was paid $700,000 waiting to be fired
Where’s Donald Trump when you need him?
It took eight years and well over $1 million in taxpayer funds to get rid of Murry Bergtraum HS Spanish teacher Yvonne Chalom.
Between November 2003 and April 2004, Chalom, 49, allegedly left “bizarre, threatening” messages after-hours on the voicemail of three administrators at the lower Manhattan school. They included audio of news reports on gunshots in Iraq, the anniversary of the Columbine school massacre, and Trump’s “You’re Fired!”
A jury convicted Chalom on 32 counts of aggravated harassment in 2005. But the city Department of Education felt it needed more grounds to terminate Chalom. It accused her of taking photos of a school clock without permission, throwing a temper tantrum in a room-assignment mixup, and calling an assistant principal a “bitch.”
Her disciplinary hearing got under way in June 2007.
It spanned two years — the longest ever, say sources involved in teacher discipline — with nearly 100 days of argument and testimony, 254 exhibits, and more than 20,000 transcript pages.
It took another two years to get a ruling.
State law requires hearing officers to render written decisions within 30 days. Among other ignored timelines in Chalom’s case, hearing officer James Cashen allowed the lawyers nearly a year to submit their closing briefs. Then he took more than a year to issue his opinion, signed May 26. He agreed Chalom should go.
“There was a lot to review, a lot of thought to be given to it.” said Cashen, 78.
Chalom, 49, continued to rake in $100,049 a year until the ruling arrived. Over the course of her case, she collected more than $700,000 to do nothing except sit in a rubber room at a table stacked with papers from her hearing. The DOE never challenged her competence in the classroom.
She sued in Manhattan Supreme Court last month to overturn the firing.
“Corruption is rampant in the DOE,” she told The Post. She said she’s the victim of “malice and harassment” by supervisors who have tried to get rid of her since she returned from a sabbatical, a year off with pay, in 2002. Chalom, who lives near Ground Zero, claimed she suffered from post-traumatic stress after 9/11, but offered no proof, Cashen found.
The case cost the state Education Department, which pays for hearings, an estimated $339,000, including $69,000 for stenographers. Cashen has not yet filed invoices, but his bill — he charges $900 for each five-hour day — could come in at $270,000.
The dragged-out case highlights a “profoundly broken” teacher-disciplinary system, said Jay Worona, general counsel to the New York State School Boards Association, which has proposed reforms.
The system is also broke financially. The state owes teacher-hearing arbitrators more than $6.5 million, and is more than a year behind in paying them. The deficit is expected to grow to $9.5 million by next March 31.
The city and United Federation of Teachers reached a deal in April to close rubber rooms and speed up the hearing process. But when teachers, lawyers and hearing officers benefit from extensions, enforcement may remain lax.
“It’s in no one’s interest to complain,” said a source close to Chalom’s case. “Only the taxpayer should complain.”
Arizona Land Sells for 8% of Price Calpers Group Paid at Peak
May 27, 2011
A 10,200-acre (4,100-hectare) desert site in Arizona sold for $32.5 million this week, five years after a group with investors including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System paid $400 million for the land.
Arcus Property Solutions LLC, a private-equity fund with about $100 million under management, paid cash for the property in Goodyear, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) southwest of Phoenix, said Kent Kleinman, a spokesman for the Gilbert, Arizona-based company. The site, now called Amaranth Land LLC, had been planned for a 42,000-home community by the Calpers- financed group when it was purchased in 2006.
The deal shows how property investors are taking advantage of a plunge in values after the real estate bubble burst in Arizona. A group of lenders, led by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (GS), seized control of the Amaranth site in 2009 after the bust halted development, said Jeff Garrett, owner of Garrett Development Corp., the land’s manager after the foreclosure.
“Five, six years ago, people were spending $200 million or $300 million or $400 million,” Garrett said in a telephone interview. “This just sold for about eight cents on the dollar.”
The 2006 buyers were a joint venture of MW Housing Partners III LP, a real estate fund with money from Calpers and Weyerhaeuser Co. (WY); and Scottsdale, Arizona-based Montage Land LLC, according to Arizona Corporation Commission records. The deal was funded by a $250.1 million loan and $150 million in cash, according to Terry McDonnell, publisher of Business Real Estate Weekly of Arizona in Scottsdale.
Speculative Deals
“Of all the speculative deals I’ve seen here, this was right at the top,” McDonnell said in a telephone interview. “It’s hard for me to think of a more speculative deal of this magnitude in Maricopa County.”
Calpers, the nation’s largest pension fund, had investments valued at $209.7 million in MW Housing Partners III in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, according to its annual report. The next year, the investment had a negative market value of $102.9 million, the fund said. MW Housing wasn’t listed as a Calpers investment in fiscal 2010, its most recent report.
Calpers doesn’t discuss individual real estate deals, said Wayne Davis, a spokesman for the Sacramento-based pension fund, which had $234.5 billion of assets as of May 24. Bruce Amundson, a spokesman for Federal Way, Washington-based Weyerhaeuser, said MW Housing invested the $150 million cash in the Amaranth purchase.
Newhall Ranch
In October 2009, Calpers severed ties with Macfarlane Partners LP, the San Francisco investment firm led by Victor Macfarlane that managed MW Housing Partners. MW Housing also led Calpers’ $970 million investment in Newhall Ranch, a master- planned community north of Los Angeles that filed for bankruptcy in 2008, wiping out Calpers’ stake.
Garth Wieger, a founding partner at Montage, the managing partner of the development, said he couldn’t comment because of a confidentiality agreement. Michael Duvally, a spokesman for Goldman Sachs in New York, declined to comment.
The listing agent for the Arizona property was Nathan & Associates Inc. in Scottsdale. The land is now used for cattle grazing with future revenue possible from selling its water rights or letting Goodyear expand a nearby landfill, said Kleinman of Arcus Property.
“This won’t be developed in my lifetime,” Kleinman, who gave his age as “mid-50s,” said in a telephone interview. “Our plan is basically buy and hold and resell after the market appreciates.”

Bankruptcy threat to Jefferson County, Alabama
Jefferson County could become first US local authority to declare bankruptcy since California's Orange County went bust in 1994
24 July 2011
Once famous for civil rights marches, Jefferson County, Alabama, could become the first US local authority to declare bankruptcy since California's Orange County went bust in 1994.
Amid concerns that many states and local councils could opt for bankruptcy in the face of budgetary pressures, officials are poised to trigger the biggest public sector insolvency in US history, according to a meeting notice from the county commission seen by the Bloomberg news agency.
At the meeting on Thursday, the five-member commission may also vote on extending a negotiating period with creditors who bought $3bn (£1.8bn) of bonds used to fund an upgrade of the county's sewers. Councillors have come to the end of a 30-day "standstill period" designed to allow the county and creditors, led by JPMorgan Chase, time to negotiate a restructuring of the loans to end the three-year debt crisis.
The county, home to the city of Birmingham and with a population of more than 658,000, has been in fiscal distress after a refinancing of the bond collapsed during the credit crisis.
A plan to continue with an "occupational" tax on the local population was scuppered in March by a court ruling.
Officials had said that the tax, which generated about a quarter of Jefferson County's general fund revenue, was key to ending the solvency crisis.
The county has put more than 500 employees on unpaid leave.
County commissioners met last week with Kenneth Klee, one of the attorneys who represented Orange County after it filed for bankruptcy, at that time the largest ever municipal filing. The county may vote at the meeting on Thursday to hire Klee's firm, Klee, Tuchin, Bogdanoff & Stern, LLP, according to the notice.
