The numbers were published as part of the agenda for tonight’s Council meeting, where the councilors will learn more about the cost of running a municipal government. It is submitted to council for approval as required by the Financial Information Act. Council will also be asked to set July 7th as the night for a pulic meeting on the annual report.
Included on the agenda for perusal tonight beyond the council salary check list, is a list of all employees making over $75,000 (Page 23 of the agenda). Those numbers have been broken down by salary and expenses/training allowances.
