Salary Increases Coming To Bayonne

The Bayonne City Council meets this evening, Wednesday, January 15, at City Hall. Among the items on the Council’s agenda are several Executive Orders from Mayor Jimmy Davis, which in certain instances, will increases the salary ranges for positions within the Finance Department, effective January 1, 2020.

The positions and salary ranges are as follows:

Principal Accountant                                  $67,000 – $87,000

Personnel Technician                                 $70,376 – $95,060

Asst. Municipal Comptroller                     $70,000 – $95,000

Asst. Municipal Treasurer                         $70,000 – $95,000

Asst. Supervisor – Garage Services           $66,628 – $90,823

Fiscal Analyst                                            $46,000 – 61,000

Municipal Treasurer                                  $72,000 – $107,000

In an email received by Hudson TV from Bayonne spokesman Joe Ryan, the salary range changes are the result of a reorganizing of the Finance Department.

Ryan stated, “Most of the items in the executive order are the result of reorganizing the Finance Department following the retirement of Treasurer Janet Convery.  As a result of her retirement, various already existing people moved up the ladder and responsibilities were reorganized.  The Fiscal Analyst was hired as a result of the retirement and the reorganization.  The Personnel Technician, an already existing employee, received a raise.  The Assistant Supervisor –Garage Services, an already existing employee, was given a raise in recognition of his responsibilities.”

Tonight’s Council meeting gets underway at 7 o’clock.
