Chattahoochee Hills proposes $40,000 starting pay for parks and public-works entry roles

Chattahoochee Hills staff recommend revised salary ranges and starting pay for city positions, with particular emphasis on Police, Parks and Public Works. Council is scheduled to consider the position-control schedule as Item 26-064 on October 6 at 6:30 p.m.

Parks maintenance technicians, park rangers and public-works technicians would each have a $40,000 minimum and $55,000 maximum annual salary. Heavy-equipment operators would have a $50,000–$65,000 range, while public-works supervisors would have a $60,000–$75,000 range. The memorandum ties these positions to maintenance of parks, roads, facilities and other public assets.

The schedule would not automatically increase every employee's pay. Actual compensation would remain subject to qualifications, personnel policies and approved budgets; additional appropriations would require Council consideration. Staff recommend correcting any mathematical or structural inconsistencies before final adoption.
