David Becker R-1 and Edward Bateson R-3 bumped heads with Fairfield First Selectman Michael Tetreau and town attorney Stanton Lesser during Monday nights Representative Town Meeting over the increase in former Chief Fiscal officer Paul Hillers salary, in which his pension will be based on. The disagreement revolves around as to whether the retirement board has the legal authority to make that increase or whether it goes through the RTM. From Fairfield Citizen:
Fallout from the ouster of Fairfield’s longtime chief fiscal officer continues to spark controversy among town officials.
During a Representative Town Meeting discussion Monday of a legal opinion regarding the rules of the Employee Retirement Board, David Beck, R-1, the body’s majority leader, launched an attack on the current and prior Democratic administrations.
Ed Bateson, R-3, had asked for the opinion because he does not feel the retirement board’s rules allow for former CFO Paul Hiller‘s base salary to be bumped up to increase his pension payout. A negotiated exit agreement with Hiller, forced to resign last summer by First Selectman Michael Tetreau, states that for pension purposes his salary will be bumped from $134,591 to $155,600 immediately before he officially leaves the town payroll on June 30, 2013.
