Alexandria Town Talk - Development Head Seeks To Add 2 Employees
|

Two more employees needed
Moller said he needs two more employees, one to fill a position similar and subordinate to his own and one to support Varnado. No payroll figure has been given to support the two staff additions, but it will not go to increasing Moller's or Varnado's salaries.
Moller was hired in late 2004 at an annual salary of $100,000.
Alexandria Mayor Jacques M. Roy said compensation will be addressed in a cooperative endeavor agreement he hopes to present Tuesday to the Alexandria City Council.
The agreement will lay out the role and deliverables associated with the SPARC program as agreed upon by the city and GAEDA. "A sharing of responsibilities" is how Roy described it.
SPARC's goals range include improving infrastructure, transportation and housing as a means to induce private economic development. The plan segments the city into three cultural restoration areas, or CRAs, roughly described as downtown and the Red River waterfront; North Bolton Avenue and MacArthur Drive; and Masonic Drive and Lee Street.
A total of $40 million from the city's sale of two long-term municipal bonds in July 2008 is available now to fund projects.
If all goes as planned, Roy said, many projects associated with SPARC will run simultaneously.
"It's not fair to ask GAEDA to take on all the expense of being a manager without some form of compensation," Roy said Wednesday at his weekly news briefing.
