Mayor Greg Dionne’s salary was $89,040. He also received $2,680 for travel.

The highest paid city councillor was Don Cody at $33,055. He also received $1,323 in travel expenses. Ward 1 Coun. Charlene Miller was the next highest paid at $31,951 in addition to $2,818 in travel expenses.

Ward 8 Coun. Ted Zurakowski received $29,851 and $124 in travel expenses.

It should be noted that some councillors didn’t receive their full salary because of the municipal election. Since the election was in October, payments to newly elected councillors would only be to the end of 2016.

This means councillors Evert Botha, Blake Edwards, Terra Lennox-Zepp, Dennis Nowoselsky and Dennis Ogrodnick only received $5,725.
