Charter Section 504 Executive Salary Linkage: Efficiency, Equity, and Governance
Distinguishes voter-mandated sworn-position compensation from Board-created executive salary linkages. The jury questions fiscal testing, peer comparisons, and recurring review. The Board contests the findings, cites public salary resolutions and compensation reviews, and declines the proposed separate five-year Charter-cost projection. Neither source establishes unlawful compensation.

Executive Salary Linkages: Board Response
The Board disputes all four findings, citing public salary resolutions and executive hierarchy comparisons. It says compensation review implements R1, plans fall follow-up for R2–R3, and refuses a separate Charter-cost projection in favor of holistic budgeting.
