So Zach Beatty makes $150.00 an hour? Are you sure about that Cal?
I do think there is something wrong with those numbers. The totals average out to over $90/hour, so if it’s all paid at time and a half, it means they’re averaging over $60/hour base pay.
Who authored this analysis? The numbers are very screwy and I know for a fact that at least one name on this list does not even LIVE in this state!
I am surprise that there is over 50 members in the Woodstock Fire Protection District
People often share the same name, are not related, and live in a different state.
Bobula Erik 10.00 $215.46 === whats that like 20 dollars and 15 cents an hour? 13 dollar base pay —- maybe he’s a newly hired phone person? Coffee guy?
Koss Dominick 72.00 $3,389.39 — That’s slightly below 50 bucks an hour. So around 33 dollars an hour before overtime. — There are a lot of people making around 50 or 60 dollars an hour, but those guys are probably the experienced, full-time workers.
Do I feel a quiet slight rage brewing over these wages? Whats wrong with a fair salary? What’s wrong with overtime when needed? Hypothetically, instead of cutting, Woodstock raised some of their taxes, then you might hear “Let’s move to Woodstock!”. Make it “livable” and not just a spot so people can get to court easily.
Firefighters have a serious job and work strenuous hours. There’s nothing wrong with paying hardworking individuals a living wage where one could afford a mortgage, a car payment along with insurance, have children, enjoy some entertainment, and save a little.
Ken is an idiot. People share the same name, live in different states and have the EXACT SAME occupation, huh?
Who are Tyler Webster and Eric Vizanko? Who/what is their connection to the pot of gold? Two highest collectors of overtime.
Webster appears – assuming my math is correct – to have a base salary around $110,000 and collects an average of 6 hours of OT week in and week out.
These Overtime hours are not outrageous. Consider they work 24 hr shift, so working 1 OT shift a month would be 240 hrs. Add into the mix that there are several outside training classes, for specialty teams (Dive, Tech Rescue, Hazmat), along with call back for multiple calls. The only thing that seems out of sorts, is the over $39k total for the 3 Capts. If they are considered members of bargaining unit, as up until this past year there was a Dep Chief, that could be a reason for their high amounts. I believe now they are considered Batt Chiefs, and would be considered exempt employees, which means no OT.
I can tell you, with 100% certainty, that these numbers are not accurate.
Most of the ASSUMPTIONS are also not accurate.
Is this a forum for misinformed and undereducated guesses or does anybody actually want to try and address real problems with real solutions.
If so, do your research and stop replying on Cal for your education.
