Supervisors Pay Records Altered

Kan We Help has been requesting the Supervisors pay records for several years and we were disappointed that

"someone" made a decision to alter the payroll records.

This is the document Kan We Help received, on August 31, 2015 last year. The pay record shows that Supervisor Chapman received a base salary of

$40,534.83. This equates to 80 hours a pay period (26 pay periods in a calendar year)

Without any pay increases during the fiscal year 2014/2015 Supervisor Chapman's total "gross" pay was $40,534.83

The Ordinance that regulated the Supervisors pay during the 2014/2015 fiscal year stated the Supervisors pay was $35,485

There is no provision for any other pay, including longevity "pay" ( a bonus that is included in the Budget each year)

Kan We Help requested the Supervisors Pay Records after the Supervisors gave themselves a raise. The request was delayed until February 10, 2016.

and now we know why

They altered the "Amount", in the pay records,

to equal the

"legal Ordinance pay" of $35,585 for Albaugh and Hammond, but in Chapman and Pyle's case it still came out to $39,033.54.

 

BELOW:

The data has been removed from their pay history

Why?

Because they lied

to the public

about their pay

Supervisor Albaugh's calendar year pay is above Supervisor Chapman's

LASSEN COUNTY SUPERVISORS DECIDE

NOT TO GIVE THEMSELVES

AN OBSCENE PAY RAISE

WATCH THE 12/8/15 PAY INCREASE DISCUSSION

 

 

 

Kan We Help presented the pay history to the Board of Supervisors and publicly exposed that they have been getting pay increases in the Budget.

(Definition of a pay raise: any increase to pay)

 

Supervisors Pyle and Chapman attempted to claim again they had not received any pay increases since 2002 but had to take back that statement when the Auditor confirmed they had received a pay increase in 2013

 

Reluctantly, the Supervisors approved an Ordinance that would give them their pay raises when County employees were scheduled to get contractual pay raises.

The idiot "25% of a judges salary" clause was removed.

The Supervisors can use that $37,260 pay rate set in the 2015/2016 Budget to pay for the first two increases.

 

 

December 4, 2015

Lassen County Supervisors

Gave themselves a raise in the Budget

on July 1, 2015

Their salary went from $35,485 to $37,260 without approving the required Ordinance

[The Supervisors actual gross salaries far exceed the legal limits]

....So what is this Farce County Counsel is trying to pull off ?

 

Current Ordinance/Current Budget

 

 

 

 

 

December 3, 2015

Supervisors attempt to give themselves a huge pay raise again on December 8

If the Supervisors were paid by the hour this is what their paychecks would be every two weeks

Jeff Hemphill   $210.93

Tom Hammond     $314.71

Jim Chapman     $480.00

Aaron Albaugh  $ 210.93

Bob Pyle     $480.00

 

 

September 10, 2015

Chapman goes on and on about his critics hating County Government

....but he just doesn't realize that

the public is just tired of hearing his fake facts

 

At the September 8, 2015 meeting, Supervisor Chapman claims that the

Board hasn't had a raise since 2001 or 2002

 

Kan We Help presented this chart to the Supervisors in 2013 and now, 2 YEARS LATER, look at Chapman's Gross Salary for the past year.

"the pay raises are given without the public knowing, and then Supervisor Chapman lies, and lies and lies"

 

 It certainly IS NOT THE $35,485 SALARY STATED IN THE CURRENT ORDINANCE

 

 

In 2007, the Supervisors attempted to invoke the

"25% of a Superior Court Judge" language they placed in Ordinance 532 in 2002.

LASSEN COUNTY

"the county of privilege"

In the past 12 months, the Lassen County Board of Supervisors have not hesitated to donate $11,085 of unbudgeted money to a private organization

 

In a blink of an eye $4,000 was given to the "Lassen County" Chamber of Commerce for a pyramid scheme Supervisor Chapman wanted because they gave him a GoPro Camera

In a blink of an eye $2,000 was given to the Lassen County Chamber of Commerce for a FAKE TREE.

 

The taxpayers have paid $103.20 for the Chamber of Commerce's "parade applications", $75.00 for the Chamber of Commerce's "Home/Garden booth".........etc, etc, etc.

NOTE:  The Supervisors have never asked for any accountability and certainly have never told them NO. 

 

Now watch how they feel about the people that help the poor and disadvantaged

The Caretakers of the elderly and disabled in Lassen County have been attending the Supervisors meetings for months and have pleaded to have their budget increased. Currently the Herlong, Westwood and Bieber "One Stop" Resource Centers receive $10,000 a year.  The Supervisors want them to raise their own money because they would feel better.

Herlong One Stop Resource Center,  helping the disadvantaged

NOW, THE SUPERVISORS THINK THEY DESERVE AN $11,755 ANNUAL INCREASE IN THEIR SALARIES

They are overpaid now, so maybe we should tell the Supervisors to

EARN WHAT THEY ARE NOW BEING PAID BEFORE THEY CAN ASK FOR MORE MONEY

COMPETITIVE SALARIES

 

 

 

    THE TRUTH:

Public Records show that Supervisor Chapman and Pyle

were paid $53,463 last fiscal year

 

YOU BE THE "JUDGE"

DO YOU WANT TO NOW PAY THESE SUPERVISORS

$65,218 A YEAR?

[last chance for Pyle and Chapman to increase their pensions]

    THE COUNTY FOR THE PRIVILEGED

 

September 4, 2015

LASSEN COUNTY

"the county of privilege"

 

Watch and Listen to Supervisors Pyle and Chapman comment

 about the "One Stop Resource Centers" that help the County's Disadvantaged

 

Click on photo below

The 2015/2016 Lassen County Budget does not include the $30,000 increase to the One Stop Resource Centers Budget in Herlong, Bieber and Westwood. The Supervisors needed that money for SOMETHING ELSE..............

 

WHAT........,

 

This money will be used for a ridiculous, obscene PAY RAISE FOR THE SUPERVISORS

On September 8, 2015, the Supervisors intend to pass an  payincrease for themselves

of $11,775 each (requires 4/5 approval)

 

 

The Supervisors want the public to think that they are getting the $35,485 dollars stated in the Lassen County Code (Title 2, Chapter 2.36.030)

 

According to Lassen County payroll records:

Bob Pyle & Jim Chapman are currently

receiving  a salary of

$40,534.83 and $17,928.61 in public benefits

DO THE MATH:   $53,463

This equates to $1,386 per meeting whether they attend them or not

(40 annual meetings)

....and now they want $65,238 annually ?

 

HERE IS A TASTE OF REALITY SUPERVISORS

COMPETITIVE SALARIES
