Mansfield Town Manager Contract Renewed, Finalized with $13,000 Raise

The year after town manager William Ross was hired in Mansfield, he was offered a small raise, but he didn’t take it then.

Now the Mansfield Board of Selectmen voted 5-0 to raise his salary from $130,000 to $143,000.

With the yearly Mansfield Electric Stipend of $10,000 and a vehicle allowance of $5,000, Ross’s  gross pay went from $145,000 a year to $158,000 a year.

This raise was independent of Ross, as it was awarded to him from the selectmen as an addition to his current contract (for the third and final year only, aka 2013) rather than a negotiated raise for a new contract.

The contract was voted last Wednesday, but had been discussed and negotiated in June.
