Report on ballot measure limiting city manager pay to 5 times median income
In Plain English
A local ballot initiative would cap the city manager's salary at 5 times Richmond's median household income and require public disclosure of all compensation. The city manager currently earns significantly more than this proposed limit. If the initiative passes, Richmond would need to restructure the position's pay package and publicly report all benefits.
