You can find the results of the survey here.
League Executive Director Chris McKenzie noted the following in regard to survey's completion:
"Sunshine
is the best antiseptic, and the League is working to ensure maximum
transparency of compensation information to provide residents with the
tools they need to ensure continued accountability at the local level.
Within days of the revelations of the excessive and unreasonable
salaries paid to the former city manager
of Bell and others, the League's City Managers' Department responded
immediately by conducting a manager compensation survey in partnership
with the International City/County Management Association. The City
Managers' Department also began to develop guidelines for city councils
in setting the compensation levels for appointed city managers that are
expected to be released shortly after review and approval by the
League's board of directors."
While
the League is doing its part through the release of this survey, many
city officials have already kick-started efforts to increase
transparency by posting compensation figures on the web. The top salary
reported in the results was $438,000 from Beverly Hills. For more about the survey, see here.

You should check out how Jerry Brown is milking the system. Disgusting abuse of taxpayers dollar and he wants to be Governor of our State. Forget bout it.
This coming Pacifica city council agenda contains an item (#7) that details a mandatory release of all payroll and compensation data by the state controller, John Chiang.
It won't be "voluntary", it'll be a requirement that municipalities relase the data to the state, which is setting up a Web site in November on which you'll be able to access it.
State and local government fought media organizations for years in the courts to prevent the release of this data. They lost, and now with the Bell, CA, scandal, Mr. Chiang is doing the right thing and ending the secrecy once and for all.
