The Salary Schedule report for FY 14/15 was produced on September 16, 2014 and made available on the Employee Reference page of the HR website.

• Parse the FY 14/15 schedule using the salary schedules app
• Make the resulting JSON data available to http://cityofsantamonica.github.io/SalarySchedules.Client/

SalarySchedulesApp isn't doing anything but getting in the way. We can simplify and avoid maintaining state about ko bindings and dealing with unnecessary scopes.

• Start by hoisting the ko view models out of SalaryScheduleApp
• Required state can go to jQuery document load handler $(function() { ... });
• Button click handlers work directly with scoped state and view models
• The loader icon is cheesy at best. Get rid of it.

Each code in the table of bargaining units is clickable, the effect of which is to filter the list of job classes by the selected bargaining unit.

It isn't obvious that this is the behavior of the bargaining unit links. Some explanatory text would be helpful.

There should also be an indication of what bargaining unit's job classes are currently being displayed.

A "reset" button of sorts, to re-display all job classes in all bargaining units, should be made available when a particular bargaining unit is selected.

It's becoming a pain to deal with the two separate projects (server-side parser, client-side data explorer) in the same git repo.

Instead, let's create SalarySchedules.Client as its own repo, by pushing the existing gh-pages branch over.

Then we'll delete the gh-pages branch from this repository, which will transition to solely managing the server components.

Especially on mobile, this thing is slow! Probably way too much data coming down at once and being loaded into memory.

DateTimes are currently serialized from C# into JSON like:

"ReportRunDate": "\/Date(1277449200000)\/"

This could be improved, as it's not entirely obviously what to do with that value.
