Baytown considers 11 percent pay hike for police linked to citywide raise
Baytown six of seven city council members support a blanket 11 percent raise for city employees if voters approve a $45 a month salary increase for policemen on Saturday August 25. Councilman Huron opposes tying the raise to broader increases arguing no mandate exists. The plan could require a three cent tax hike to fund the police raise and a 15 cent hike for full citywide raises, totaling about $101,000 yearly if all employees receive the increase.

Wage Stand Disputed By Policemen
The Baytown Police Association challenged a city committee report on police pay, disputing claims of an 85 percent raise in 10 years and arguing Baytown salaries trail nearby Pasadena Houston Galena Park and Deer Park. Sgt. C W Cowan asserted Baytown pay rose 54 percent from 1932 to 1962, from 200 to 400 monthly, with earlier bumps to 345 and 363 before 1960. The association also contested figures for adjacent cities, citing Houston Pasadena Galena Park and Deer Park ranges and expected increases, and noted a pause in inflation compared with the council’s 1 percent citywide raise proposal pending voter approval. The article ends noting the page continues on another page.
