This week, Chelsea’s municipal payroll information for 2018 became available to the public. Police Chief Brian Kyes held the top salary position at $230,344.33 under his current contract terms. It should be noted that for police department personnel, gross compensation figures frequently incorporate detail pay—money that predominantly originates from sources outside the City budget. Eight of the ten highest compensated employees worked in either police or fire services. The City Manager, Tom Ambrosino, ranked tenth with earnings of $180,441.72.
