    The city manager only makes 19k? Must be a typo.

      Uh, that was "per month" That would be $231.4K per year. I think he should be able to live on that salary, don't you?

      If our City Manager can't live on over $231K per year, than he must not know how to handle his finances very well. I say Hell No, for a raise.

      He's actually a really great city manager and if we don't want a bigger city with a bigger budget to steal him we should pay him. He's basically the CEO of a $100 million a year company with over 1,500 employees, it's not an easy job.
