YOUNGSTOWN Legislation to reduce the salary of the community development agency director led to a somewhat heated discussion between Mayor Jamael Tito Brown and Councilman Julius Oliver, who is challenging him in the May Democratic primary.
The issue at Wednesday’s meeting was changing the salary for Beverly Hosey, first the acting director and then officially appointed to the position in April 2020.
At that time, the annual salary was $76,883.87, but city administration officials wanted to reduce it to $72,398.56 because some of the duties were removed from the job description.
But the city also was facing a lawsuit from Taron Cunningham, fired March 8, 2019, by Brown as the CDA director. That led some on council to postpone changing the salary as Cunningham won lawsuits against the city over his termination.
