Can You Explain This ? Did You Know This ?

I have tried unsuccessfully to copy and paste. Please visit http://clerkofcourts.co.walton.fl.us/Menus/finance/pdf/Walton%20County%20CAFR%202006.pdf and then scroll down to page 64.

This is from the 2006 CAFR. The 2007 CAFR is not yet on the web.

WOW! I recall the story about the mosquito control director salary being something like $124K and all I could think was what for?......
Who is in charge of setting these salaries? Perhaps this needs more citizen input.

Those are set by the BCC.

The rates are set by FRS. I understand a hazardous pay difference , but Ronnie Bell, Pat Blackshear are highly compensated individuals - why would they have those substantial differences in the retirement contributions. Also why are Elected officials, Clerk, Supervisor of Elections, Property Tax collector, County Commissioners, etc treated SO WELL ?

Perhaps because the constitutional officers are personally and individually responsible for everything their employees do, or do not do?

Quite a few of those individuals are living in the same place they lived when it was cheap.

Although pay rates are set by the individual government entity, the FRS contribution rate and the classification of employees is set by the Florida Retirement System. Some governments pay into the FRS on behalf of the employee. Some contribute half. In a few cases, the employee contributes all. I don't know what Walton County does. For state employees, the employer pays the retirement costs. The cost of the contribution is figured into the total cost of maintaining that position.

Walton County pays it all. As well as a contribution is made to retirees toward their medical insurance.
