City of Calexico employees receive a pay raise

One good thing out of this is maybe we can attract and retain a more qualified police force. From what I hear Cax PD officers will be making more than ECPD.

I think it's great that the City Council took a proactive look at the wages Calecia workers were getting compared to other cities. Looks like the differences weren't just a couple of bucks here and there. Sometime doing right, is the right thing to do. But does anyone know how the benefits are? Health, dental, vision, etc.? Good benefits help to keep employees longer, too.

I didn't realize the city employee wages in Calexico were so low compared to the rest of the valley. It wasn't like they were being paid Chicali pay though, but they should always be comparable to the rest of the Imperial County cities.

Maybe now we'll get more applicants for open positions and not run the risk of hiring potentially under-qualified personnel. No offense to the existing city employees, but keeping your job just got a little tougher.

How about getting new police cars for the depatment....the letters on the current police cars are all faded..........banged up, etc. etc.

How much is it that a starting police officer gets paid ? ? ?

Maybe they can hire officers who can speak english...........

Here's a dumb question: Where's the extra money for the raise coming from? Are there going to be cuts made from other departments? Anyone have any ideas or insights?
