Let's assume two weeks paid vacation equating to 10 business days and 10 days for paid holidays... 20 business days equating to 4 weeks of paid non-attendance at work. Subtracting from a 52 week year, we get a 48 week working year from the city manager.
Giving the benefit of the doubt, let's give the city manager credit for working 80 hours a week. 80hours per week times 48 weeks worked is 3,840 hours.
Dividing $170000 by 3840 gives a rate of $44.28 per hour... not bad for government work.
What about all the other "administrators" and "supervisors" on the municipal payroll? What are they doing to earn a living??
