Director Jack Justice’s modest raise sparks worry in Charleston park agency
The Charleston Parks and Recreation Commission objected to the $500 pay rise for Director Jack Justice noting the raise is half of what was expected. Committee members debated sending a letter to the finance panel or upgrading the director’s position. Justice defended his 5 percent increase citing parity with other department heads. The panel approved his $12,500 salary for the 1969-70 year, while Assistant Director Ronald Kidd’s $100 rise to $7,800 was also approved. Paxton announced development plans for East Point Drive head property for recreation starting July 1, including a softball field and playground, with leasing of adjoining acres to the city.
