regardless of exact level, and BrianL's numbers are all accurate, being conservative, which means a high salary and full benefits, the max in round numbers would be $175K per year. . fine, move along to affordability
As golfing eagles mentioned, there is probably plenty of money to pay for the person, so the affordability is most likely not the issue.
The issue appears to be the management decisions, which most likely are cost based decisions. If you take someone who manages the expense of a house or very small business, there is very little perspective on how to spend money effectively when the dollars appear very large from a very small spending reference point.
Maintenance costs money, always will, and the first area of spending cuts / savings is always maintenance when made by consultants or inexperienced / poor quality management. Everyone has seen maintenance failures with train derailments, posters not changing batteries until they fail, fires from old electrical wiring, not up to code, hoping to avoid spending money looking for grandfathering. . generally using the mentality, if it isn't broke, don't fix it. . , or have crappy customer service like cable providers, until cord cutting started. .
seldom are these cost focused mgmt strategies successful strategies with customer service. . . mostly adopted by monopolies, where customer satisfaction with limited choices is assumed constant and there are always enough customers who will play.
