Mayor Jim Parsons says city council are the lowest paid among the seven biggest municipalities in NL.
The next public meeting of Corner Brook city council will deal with the issue of remuneration, which could mean a pay raise for the next elected council. A report recommends adjusting the level of pay for Councillors from the current $25,380 annually to $32,209 annually; for the Deputy Mayor from the current $27,066 annually to $35,119 annually; and for the Mayor from the current $39,246 annually to $48,293 annually. On Bayfm with Lenny Benoit, Mayor Jim Parsons says they are mandated to do this review every three years. He says city council are the lowest paid among the seven biggest municipalities in NL. Parsons says better pay could mean more people would be interested in becoming part of council and he would like to see candidates of all ages and professions. The motion will be dealt with during a public meeting set for September 9th.
