Pasadena Gives 5 Percent Across the Board Pay Rise
The Pasadena Board of City Directors approved a straight 5 per cent salary increase for all municipal employees. Based on the 7 million dollar general salary item in the 1959 60 budget, the raise costs about 175 thousand dollars for the current fiscal year starting January 1. City Manager Don C McMillan led the action after talks with the Pasadena Municipal Employes Association salary committee. The move keeps Pasadena slightly below regional city averages, aided by job permanence and fringe benefits.
