They’re less because Alexandrians subsidize the club with tax money - freeing up money for Tommy’s millions. |

You're basically making an argument for why he might deserve the money he gets, right? Tommy is the person who manages the relationship with the City of Alexandria, including the agreements they have for fees and maintenance. If his work has led to club savings he's doing his job well from the club's and parents' perspectives. The clubs access to regular, quality field space is probably the best thing it has going for it. If you're not paying the club for its services or a board member, his salary does not affect you. If you think Alexandria should be getting more in fees, your issue is with them. |

Something smells funny about this argument |

"He's so good at corruption he should get rewarded!" Public money is supposed to have oversight. One of the few things we all agree on. He's got a salary that clearly shows no oversight, from the ASA board or from the city. ASA can do what they want internally, but Alexandria could very well revisit the agreements they have with ASA if they have the moral fortitude. |

You’re right - I guess the racketeering by a youth sports non-profit to fleece taxpayers to subsidize an extortionate compensation package for a mediocre soccer player - no executive background - director really has nothing to do with - checks notes - soccer. |

| Can his contract salary be tied to revenue? That may not justify it but at least it would explain it. |

This is just more nonsense. The City negotiates or sets field fees in a manner they feel gets the most out of the fields. I don't know the details of those deliberations, but they could easily feel that ASA provides the best use of those fields for the community when they are using them and when they are not (like all summer). I assume there's some agreement for shared maintenance into which Alexandria Soccer Association puts money and certainly effort. I'm only speculating but I'm positive you don't know the details either. In any case, the city should make those decisions without any consideration of the salary of the director of the organizations they're dealing with. I assume they don't take that into consideration with any of the community organizations they deal with. It would be absurd. |

Alexandria does not. |

Or the City could build affordable housing on the fields. Or could sell to the highest bidder. My 9000 sq ft lot is assessed at $1million. How does that transfer to a soccer field? |

This doesn't really deserve a response, but the same could be said for any rec center or park or library. |

A smaller soccer field is then $7.7million in assessed value. A larger stadium field is nearing $10million. So ranging from an assessed yearly cost of $80k to $110k per field. Currently ASA reports on a 990 that it pay about $525k for fields (that includes maintenance, and the City is certainly not mowing my yard), so they pay for about 6-7 fields a year. ASA uses far more than that - and have priority over far more than that. |

If the head of parks and rec was making $400k a year I would have the same complaints!!! |
