Hermosa Beach Police Chief and Councilman Fishman Defend $100,000 Meter Maids on Grounds "When You Outsource, You Take Away Union Jobs"
Please consider Hermosa Beach Meter Maids Make Nearly $100K When contemplating the many reasons cities in California and elsewhere are venturing closer to bankruptcy, look no further than the relatively lucrative and often-unjustifiable salaries bestowed on municipal employees – and the lofty pension benefits attached to the high pay. One of the latest examples comes from the California coastal city of Hermosa Beach, where some community service staffers who collect money from parking meters and manage their operations – positions once widely known as “meter maidsâ€â€“ are making nearly $100,000 a year in total compensation, according to city documents. There are 10 parking enforcement employees for the 1.3-square-mile beach city southwest of downtown Los Angeles, and they pull down some disproportionate compensation, considering their job functions.
