In the 2017 budget his salary was budgeted at $69,412 a 5% increase. In the 2018 budget, Mark Lubera's position was budgeted for $70,800 which would have been a 2% increase. He retired in the Fall of 2017.
In November of 2017, Michelle Barbaro was appointed Park's crew chief @$27.88 per hour around $59,990 per year. In the 2019 budget, her position was budgeted at $72,216. I believe they had just added 2% to the budgeted salary for Lubera ($70,800) not Barbaro's $59,900. They amended that in February 2019 to $29,29 per hour or $60,923 or 1.7% increase.
Is it fair for Mark Lubera to have been making $69,412 in his 2nd year in the position while Michelle Barbaro was making $60,923 in her 2nd year in the same position?
