5/20/10 6:00pm | On May 11, 2010, the LBPOST.com launched CityPay, an online City employee pay database. The data used for CityPay was obtained by the LBPOST.com in February 2010 through a California Public Records Act request to the Office of the Long Beach City Attorney. Over the last week, Long Beach City Manager Pat West and Assistant City Manager Suzanne Frick have been reviewing the City employee pay data previously released to the LBPOST.com. It was understood by the LBPOST.com that the City would provide revised data and explanations of any revisions.

However, yesterday, Assistant City Manager Frick informed the LBPOST.com via email that the City of Long Beach has “decided to stick with the list previously provided to (LBPOST.com). While the list has some inaccuracies, the differences are not significant. However, the time and resources it takes to prepare and vet out a new list are significant. Given our work demands because of budget preparation, we're not going to produce a new list."

Therefore, due to the LBPOST.com not receiving revised City employee pay data from the City of Long Beach, we have decided to disable the CityPay feature. Click here for more information.
