I have reviewed the salary rate adopted by the Town Board on January 2, 2007 for Bob
Sheridan and the difference between $32,359 (salary as of 2006 anniversary) and $32,845
(salary as of 2007 anniversary) is indeed 1 and 1/2%. If it was the Board's intent to issue
a 3% raise then the 2007 salary rate should have been $33,330. I'll make the following
comparisons for illustrative purposes:
Salary 2006 1 1/Z % increase 3% increase
Weekly $622.30 $631.63 $640.97
Hourly $17.78 $18.05 $18.31
Annually $32,359 $32,845 $33,330
I recommend a modification to the 2007 adopted budget of $469.00 to cover the balance
of the year, if a 3% increase was the objective.

MEMO TO: SUPERVISOR RUGGIERO

RE: SALARY RAISE FOR BOB SHERIDAN
SUPERVISOR
JOSEPH RUGGIERO

JOSEPH P. PAOLONI
It has come to my attention that, on his anniversary date, Bob Sheridan received what
amounts to a one -and -a -half (1 %Z) percent raise. I question this as being valid.
Line A-7110.101, the line indicating Mr. Sheridan's salary for the year, totals $32,845.
Up to his anniversary date, payroll week #19, his regular salary has totaled, $11,823.70.
This amount subtracted from $32,845 leaves a remainder of $21,021.30. If this amount is
divided by the remaining weeks, thirty-three (33) in this case, his salary should total
$637.01 per week. His raise however has only gone up to $631.63 a week.
I would appreciate your looking into this matter at your earliest convenience so that any
corrections that need to be made can take place as soon as possible.
