FINALLY AN ANSWER ON THE NUMBER AND NATURE OF APPOINTED POSITIONS IN THE CITY OF MEMPHIS GOVERNMENT
Since September 13, 2007 I have been trying to get an answer as to how many appointed positions there are in Memphis city government. Also I asked for the cost of the January 2001 pension resolution to date and the annual cost going forward.
The latter two questions have been answered and I published the information in a recent posting to my website and blog. (www.memphiswatchdog.org and www.shelbywatchdog.blogspot.com). The cost to date is $6 million dollars and the annual cost going forward starts at $1.5 million and will grow.
Now the City says that there are 412 filled appointed positions which may vary some as some entire City departments are appointed (e.g. legal) and this figure may change from time to time. Sara Hall (the former City Attorney) had previously stated that the City Charter provided about 110 appointed positions. Also they are saying that there are 521 appointed positions (412 filled), 163 in the City Administration, 15 for the City Council, 3 for the Court Judges, 3 for the Court Clerk and 337 for the Library System.
Of these 412 filled positions, 377 are in positions or departments specifically named in the Charter and 35 were approved to be appointed by the Mayor and the City Council. Also they state that as of December 31, 2007, there were 44 positions that were over and above the 412 positions they claim are allowed and that these were converted to civil service positions starting in 2008.
Finally, they state that there are 161 positions that are eligible for the January 2001 (12-year) pension resolution and that there are 46 current appointed employees that meet the eligibility requirements for this 12 year pension ordinnance, that requirement being that they must have been employed prior to November 1, 2004.
What we, the taxpayers, must be vigilent about is the posssibility that someone in a lower paying position that is not eligible for the January 2001 pension rule is put into a higher paying slot, then retires and hence gains a higher pension at the taxpayer’s expense. This has happened in the past as the example of Janet Hooks shows. Fun and games at the taxpayer’s expense. See the attached file for all the details.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I begin take up real income.
It gets down to select a correct companion who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.
You can ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
