Council Misrepresents New City Manager's Contract
The council erroneously compared to the past city manager's salary, according to a Rich Rifkin column that was analyzed in the Davis Vanguard.
It appears that when the city council announced the hiring of Steve Pinkerton, they misrepresented the new city manager’s salary when they compared it to that of his predecessor, Bill Emlen.
The error was originally reported in a column by Rich Rifkin, and analyzed this morning in the Davis Vanguard.
