[Zuben Elgenubi]

If the city of Tacoma outsourced this job of City Manager, about 1,000 qualified local executives would line up for this job.

1,000 at the current $235k/yr

Probably 1,000 at $150K/yr

Probably 1,000 for $100k/yr

Probably 1,000 for $75k/yr, and

probably 1,000 for $50K/yr

Because there are 1,000 local qualified executives out of work.

This city manager is thusly overpaid when considering market conditions.

A city manager position for that size city is worth $100,000 a year.

Anybody who takes it for less will jump at the first chance when the ecomony improves the next decade

Definitely nor worth $235K
