City manager compensation

Praised Greenleaf Park progress but questioned the city manager's $429,000+ package and urged accountability, transparency, and a monthly 'Coffee with the City Manager' event.

Cited a $1,584 taxpayer-funded HRCC report recommending pay be maintained or increased, and his own analysis showing Hebert is the highest-paid among nine comparable Broward city managers; asked for no increase.

Urged the commission to reject any raise, noting the city manager's $100,000+ annual retirement contribution exceeds many firefighters' salaries and the package is nearly six times the median household income.

He argued the city's millage-rate claims omit bond debt service, showing taxes are effectively back to 2014 levels, and criticized the delay in producing city manager compensation contracts.
