If you actually read the PDF, page 23 shows that they had 47 paid staff for 2009-2010, and they plan to have 91 (almost double) by the end of 2010-2011, so it's a case of increasing staff numbers, not (or at least, not entirely) increasing staff salaries.
I am not sure whether you are trolling. No, that does not mean you get a raise that multiplies it by range of 1.25 to 2.
