Perhaps they should have a salary freeze! The City of Plainfield needs more people in City Hall to work within the many divisions to spur redevelopment, improve inspections and get grant monies to improve the infrastructure! I agree with anonymous 9:01 AM. if THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS DON'T LIKE IT QUIT. These departments are too top heavy already as noted by the CBAC. I wonder how many friends and family of the Council of "NO" are working within these departments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-72693541440463828542014-06-10T11:54:03.468-04:002014-06-10T11:54:03.468-04:00Alan Goldstein, why aren't you the Mayor of Pl...Alan Goldstein, why aren't you the Mayor of Plainfield. I read your posts often, which are informative and straight to the point. You are right again! Why would the City pay for outside services that the Media department already provides? Makes no sense, but this is Plainfield isn't it! Adrian Mapp will be a one term Mayor. His vindictive behavior and personal vendettas will seal his fate. He needs to stop acting like a spoiled 12 year old girl who didn't get her way. Will someone please tell Adrian his slip is showing??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-27441188713313611932014-06-10T09:01:02.778-04:002014-06-10T09:01:02.778-04:00Regarding the fire salaries: Is there a new contra...Regarding the fire salaries: Is there a new contract in force? If so why hasn't it been made public? The admin and council argue about this job or that salary band but public safety salaries and benefits is where the big money is. If there is not a new contract why do we need to increase salaries via ordinance? Why do we need to increase salaries at all? Is anyone threatening to quit if they don't get more money? If there isn't a contract how does increasing firefighters' salaries enhance the city's bargaining position? <br /><br />(Note to other commenters: please spare us the "hero", "jealous", "can't cut it" replies - just the facts about the salary situation, please.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6911830315140428673.post-91931545591553943362014-06-10T07:41:32.001-04:002014-06-10T07:41:32.001-04:00So the Council yanks money out of Media, which cau...So the Council yanks money out of Media, which causes potential service disruptions of TV coverage of its meetings, then it adds money back in a contract with an outside vendor to get the coverage its original budget cuts would cause. How about if Media and Recreation sponsor a TV production course for youth and seniors, part of which would develop a group of unpaid interns who would shoot the meetings, and also teach them the skills and give them the opportunity to create other types of programming for PCTV.
