With the appointment of Ed Flint as police chief, and the approval of a three-year-contract, Atherton finally has a management employee without "interim" at the beginning of his title.
A contract for Chief Flint, who began serving as interim police chief in July of 2011, was approved by the Atherton City Council at its May 16 meeting as part of its consent calendar with no discussion.
Later in the meeting, however, each council member took the opportunity to praise Chief Flint. "Welcome, we're glad to have you," said council member Jerry Carlson.
"We're so pleased that you're bringing a whole measure of professionalism to Atherton," said council member Jim Dobbie.
Chief Flint, who had been receiving approximately $3,800 per month in retirement pay while working for Atherton under a temporary contract, will have to give up that money while working for the town. He will be paid $14,500 per month, his current salary, with a housing allowance of an additional $1,200 per month, and insurance and paid leave benefits. He will be eligible for annual cost-of-living increases.
Other benefits Chief Flint will receive include four weeks of vacation per year (with 160 hours credited to start), sick leave at the level given other management employees, starting with 160 hours, and one week a year of administrative leave, with 40 hours credited.
While the contract says the town will give Chief Flint health insurance, dental insurance, vision insurance, long-term disability insurance, and retirement benefits, it also says he will provide his own health insurance.
Chief Flint has 35 years of multi-agency law enforcement experience including serving as police chief in Santa Rosa and Elk Grove. He also worked during his career with the California Highway Patrol in Redwood City and the Sacramento County sheriff's department, and was assistant police chief in Citrus Heights.
He is a retired Army colonel, and served in the Army Reserves and California National Guard.
