<\/p>\nJACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The CEO of the Jacksonville Housing Authority was shut down during a board meeting Monday after she floated a proposal that would have given herself and other executive leaders a cut of incoming developer fees.<\/p>\n
JHA CEO Cheron Corbett Waller proposed a 12% cut for the CEO from developer fees received by the authority, along with an additional cut for senior leadership.<\/p>\n
Waller\u2019s base salary is $300,000.<\/p>\n
Under the proposal, if JHA received a $2 million developer fee, $1.6 million would go to the authority and the CEO would receive 12% of that, or $240,000.<\/p>\n
Waller said the money would not come from federal funds.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, board members questioned Waller about her current salary and how it compares with other public officials.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour fee is $300,000 a year, your salary?\u201d one board member asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy base salary, correct,\u201d Waller responded.<\/p>\n
After the meeting, Action News Jax asked Waller if $300,000 was not enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo $300,000 based upon my subject matter expert skills from my educational background and professional background too, as well. That\u2019s a base salary,\u201d Waller said. \u201cIn addition to other government officials too, as well, public housing authorities throughout the U.S., those salaries can also go up to the upper of $600,000 too, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Waller also said she believes people should be evaluated based on their skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s really enough as a female woman too, as well?\u201d Waller said. \u201cI think it\u2019s most definitely individuals should be evaluated and assessed based upon their skills.\u201d<\/p>\n
The draft proposal was voted down Monday.<\/p>\n
