Top Ten Highest Paid Avon Town Employees in 2011

Based on town records, Avon Town Manager Brandon Robertson was the highest paid town employee in 2011, followed by Police Officer Jeffrey Gilbert and Police Sergeant Kevin Fleming.

The 10 highest paid town employees between January 2011 and December 2011 are listed in the table provided below, based on town records that Avon Human Resources Director William Vernile provided to Patch.

The numbers include some variables beyond straight salaries. Employees can receive payments for opting out of the town's health insurance benefits and receive additional payment for mileage driven when using a personal vehicle on town business.

Town Manager Brandon Robertson and Town Planner Steven Kushner both opted out of the town's medical plan and received auto allotments.

Town Assessor Harry DerAsadourian retired on July 1, 2011 and was paid a full-time salary from Jan 1, 2011 until then. He works part-time now, so that is included in his salary listed below, as well as his severance pay.

The police payments listed include regular salaries and overtime, as well as private duty work. If an officer is on traffic detail for road construction, for instance, the vendor doing the project will reimburse the town for the hours of the officer, Vernile previously said.

These factors make some of the numbers listed higher than actual salaries.
