PATTERSON COUNCIL MEETING

The Patterson City Council voted unanimously last night to set new
salaries for their Chief of Police, which will become effective in January.

The salary for a 1st term chief would be $38,400 a year. If he or she
wins a second term, their pay would jump to $40,800.
A third term would see a rise to $43,200 a year.
A fourth $48,000 a year. A fifth, $66,000 a year, and a seventh
term, $84,000 a year.

Keep in mind that this is a base salary and does not include
any benefits including car allowance, health insurance, retirement
and vacation, as well as any other perks for the job.

Current long-time Patterson Police Chief Patrick LaSalle will join
other Patterson officials in qualifying for office this week. Patterson
voters will go to the polls this fall to elect not only a new police
chief, but a new mayor, and a new council.

LaSalle, who is serving in his fourth term, will be seeking a fifth term in
office.

If he is unopposed by the end of qualifying this Friday, his
salary will jump to $66,000 a year, in January of 2011.
