Atherton City Council members voted on July 17 to award City Manager George Rodericks a pay increase of about 7%, bringing his total annual base salary to $233,196.
Rodericks, who assumed the role in October 2012, made $217,590.40 before the raise, according to the town's website. The council last approved a pay bump for Rodericks in 2017.
The city manager's new contract, which the council approved 5-0, includes a $6,600 annual auto allowance. There were no changes made to his benefits, according to a report.
Rodericks' base salary was $160,000 when he was hired and expected to live in a town-owned home in Holbrook-Palmer Park. He was given a raise to $190,000 the following July when he said he could not move to Atherton for personal reasons.

Congrats on your new raise. When first hired you promised to live in Atherton. You made many promises, the current economy has saved you. Extra parcel tax lost, and finally the civilc center will be built. I’m so glad to see that your police department will have a real building, then trailers....
The best decision you made was the pick of your new police chief. But I credit the headhunter.
Many people see through your smoke and mirrors... You’re not fooling anyone, except the town council members.

Atherton has had some really bad city managers. The one great one we had, John Danielson, did not last too long, unfortunately. This fellow has done a competent job. The salary is within range. I’m guessing some of the police actually make more.
