Payroll shows that under Scorzetti’s previous contract,
his base pay was $256,983.84 ($10,707.66 two-week pay).
Payroll shows that Scorzetti’s current base pay is $271,922.40 ($11,330.10 two-week pay).
According to payroll, the Lodi mayor and council are making a 12% longevity
payment as part of Scorzetti’s base pay.
For years Lodi was clearly as asked by the State Division
of Local Government Services: “Has your municipality adopted an ordinance,
resolution, regulation or written policy eliminating longevity awards, bonuses,
or payments for non-union employees?” Lodi answered YES. As
Police Chief, Donald Scorzetti is a non-union employee.
Vincent Caruso certified that longevity pay was eliminated
for non-union employees.
Charles Cuccia certified that longevity pay was eliminated
for non-union employees.
Many others from the Luna administrations certified that
longevity pay was eliminated for non-union employees.

Below is one of many of Lodi’ past “Best Practices”
inventory with certification showing that Lodi claims it eliminated longevity
pay for non-union employees.
