San Diego Names Assistant Chief for Top Position
SAN DIEGO - San Diego's mayor has named a new fire chief.
Jerry Sanders said Tuesday that his pick is 51-year-old Javier Mainar, who will lead a department that has fought two major firestorms since 2003.
Mainar is assistant chief of the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department. He has had the same employer for 29 years, rising through the ranks as a captain, battalion chief and division chief. He was incident commander during San Diego's 2007 wildfires.
Mainar replaces Tracy Jarman, who retired in June. Sanders says Mainar, like Jarman, will be paid $166,000 a year.
The appointment is subject to City Council approval.

Actually, wages in that range are relatively common for Chiefs of large municipal departments... at least on the left coast.

Your also talking about a 'CEO' who oversees a $200 Million budget.
