Posted by Eric Stone | Jul 16, 2021 Ketchikan Gateway Borough offices are in the White Cliff building, shown here in a 2013 file photo. (KRBD) After approving an $18,000 raise for its manager, Ketchikan’s Borough Assembly is considering another raise for its senior leadership and adding some new positions. All told, borough staff are asking for roughly $550,000 for salaries and benefits. About $150,000 of that is not in the existing budget. The first request in a staff memo comes for the borough’s second-in-command. The assistant borough manager’s post is currently vacant. Borough officials say they’d like to move the assistant manager to the highest pay scale — the change would raise the maximum salary to about $156,000 per year. That’d be a $30,000 increase.
