Ask Mr. Answer Person: "Has a City of Decorah supervisor ever left his or her job because of low wages?"

Jerry e-mails: "Has there ever been an employee of the City of Decorah in a supervisory role who was so fed up with the salary he or she was getting that he or she decided to leave and find another job?"

Mr. Answer Person says: "Does this question mean we shouldn't give pay raises to city department heads until some of them start to leave?"

Nevertheless, you asked if any city department supervisors have left their jobs because they were dissatisfied with their salaries.  NO.

In the last 30 years, there has not been a City Manager, Street Superintendent, Water Department Manager, Wastewater Treatment Plant Manager, Park-Rec Director or Police Chief leave their job for any reason other than retirement.
