A few things to note: These are base salaries listed in the proposed budget. (You can find the fiscal year 2012 budget here.) Some city workers—police officers, for instance—receive other forms of compensation, such as overtime, so their annual take-home pay may be different than what's listed here. Some city workers receive salaries in whole or in part through things like grants or revolving funds, which are not reflected in the proposed budget.
