Dormont Borough released the employment contract Tuesday for former borough manager Gino Rizza, and council President Bill McCartney offered an explanation for the terms of Rizza’s settlement agreement, which was released earlier this month.

The employment contract is attached here as a PDF file.

McCartney said that although there’s no record of the employment contract being discussed during a council meeting, council did approve the manager’s salary at a public meeting in 2009.

Section III B of the employment contract states:

Commencing January 1, 2010, and each successive January 1 in which this agreement is in force, any increase in salary will be based on the approved budget.
In the 2010 and 2011 budgets, McCartney said, $75,000 was budgeted for the borough manager. However, Rizza was paid less than that amount, as shown by the 2011 adopted budget, available on the borough website's homepage.

“When the decision was made to move forward with him leaving, five of the council members, the mayor and the solicitor read the contract to mean that he needed that pay,” MacCartney said.

The employment contract was signed by Rizza, former solicitor Deron Gabriel, and then council President John Maggio. Borough secretary Vickie McGurk was a witness to the signatures, but not to the creation of the contract.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) February 6, 2012 -- We expect 2012 to be a year of slowing global growth, with wide divergences between regions and countries. Overall global growth will slow from about 3% in 2011 to 2.5% in 2012. For 2013, a modest recovery in global growth is likely.
The Euro-zone sovereign debt crisis will escalate, provoking a sufficiently strong policy response from the European Central Bank (ECB) and creditor governments to prevent Euro-zone disintegration and a string of disorderly sovereign debt defaults. Even so, sovereign spreads will remain unusually wide even at end-2012. The euro area already probably is falling back into recession, with negative quarter-over-quarter growth in fourth quarter of 2011 likely to carry over into 2012. Real GDP in the euro area will drop by at least 1% in 2012.
The United Kingdom is likely to be near recession, and we also look for a marked slowdown in Eastern Europe in 2012. By contrast, modest but sustained growth will occur in the United States in 2012 and beyond, and still relatively strong but slowing growth will take place in 2012 in emerging Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. In all, there will be sluggish growth in the advanced economies (around 1% yearover-year in 2012), with emerging market growth of about 5% for 2012.
As a result, the extent to which global growth is China-dependent will increase. The lagge...

Euro Zone debt Crisis Warning: China a forerunner for global Downturn
A global economy slowing only gently would be an immense relief after a fraught end to 2011, but it is far from guaranteed. Greek debt discussions could retract next week in a tussle over the size of losses banks that must to face. Based from Bradley Associates World Current News, the anxiety over Iran’s nuclear program continues to threaten oil markets. While, U.S data surprisingly showed the weak retail sales and a rise of unemployment last week, a reminder that the U.S recovery is not yet out of the woods.
So, even as signs suggest only a slight easing in global growth this year to a pace around 3 percent, the pitfalls are numerous. Mainly, among them is China. Data on Tuesday is expected to present growth in China, the world’s second-largest economy, cooled in the fourth quarter to 8.7 percent from a year earlier, against 9.1 percent in the prior quarter. It would be the slowest speed of growth since mid-2009 when the global economy was crawling out of a deep recession. In addition, the biggest question is how much of the slowdown can be blamed on slackening worldwide demand for China’s exports and how much on weakening domestic growth. According to Bradley Associates World Current News, If China’s central growth is stalling, that would put yet another drag on countries such as Germany and the United States, which are relying upon strong exports themselves to help compensate for the ...

Strong management teams are the foundation of Bradley Associates’ investment strategy.

When we invest, we look for management partners who have a proven track record in building a company, and a clear vision for taking that company to the next level.

Over the past 20 years, our investment partnerships have taken many forms:

We’ve partnered with families to help them sell all or part of their business, to solve succession problems, or to raise money for expansion.
We’ve helped entrepreneurial management teams buy out corporate divisions and set them up as independent companies.
We’ve provided growth capital to help businesses acquire complementary products and services, or to scale their operation domestically or internationally.
We’ve taken public companies private, and allowed management to build long-term company value, without having to answer to the quarterly demands of Wall Street.
We’ve recapitalized companies, helping them rebuild and reposition themselves for greater success going forward.
Every Investment is Different

The role Bradley Associates plays varies accordingly. Helping a family through the emotional process of selling a long-cherished business can be a far more delicate process than a corporate buyout.

As Britain's original Chesterfield company...

This is a question we are often asked; the answer is we're not sure! We have customers the world over who have their own ideas; our Canadian customers like to think that Chesterfield is a Canadian word although they refer to any sofa as a Chesterfield. We have done a little research and according to Robert Hendrickson in the Encyclopedia of word and phrase origins, the term chesterfield is commonly applied to a sofa in honour of Philip Stanhope, the forth Earl of Chesterfield (1694-1773). However, Hendrickson points out that it is more likely that a latter Earl of Chesterfield invented them, which earl he does not know. At any rate, according to the OED (Oxford English Dictionary), it was used to refer to a couch in 1900.

According to Carver in American Regional Dialects the term appears to have come into use in Canada around 1903 and in Northern California about the same time. The Journal of the Canadian Linguistics Association notes chesterfield seems to be in general use throughout Canada, though the usual American sofa is also known and used . Almost everywhere in the U.S chesterfields are cigarettes and nothing more. Here in England, a davenport couch was sometimes referred to as a chesterfield but this is obsolete.

In present day England a Chesterfield is now generally accepted to mean a deep buttoned leather sofa with arms that are of the same height...
