Mansfield Selectmen Approve Two Percent Raise for Town Manager

Town Manager William Ross will get a slight increase in salary for fiscal year 2016.

Last week, the selectmen voted to give Ross a two percent raise. His base salary will increase from $148,700 to $151,674. The town manager will also earn $10,000 for work involving the Mansfield Municipal Electric Department and a $6,000 car allowance.

The increase is in line with what other town employees received this year, with selectmen finding Ross deserving of the raise.

“We think highly of Bill and the job he’s doing, so he deserves an increase in salary,” Selectman Doug Annino said.

Selectman Frank DelVecchio added, “I think Mr. Ross’ current salary is in line with his education, professional experience and abilities so I think that two percent raise is fine.”

Ross has consistently received high marks in evaluations from the selectmen since he was hired as Mansfield’s town manager in 2010.
