Citizens of Flint were duped. Resolution for Public Safety Administrator states $135,000 salary and
minimal fringe benefits.
The resolution states a resume and the employment agreement are attached but the PDF file on the EFM's page has neither. The employment agreement was actually just provided by mlive, and it provides for
considerable benefits
! With his many years of experience, isn't Employee by now entitled to Medicare? The Resolution and Employment Agreement are copied below. Reading them makes me even more doubtful of the competency of EFM and whomever prepared the documents.
