The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-02-11, Page 3LB. Municipal employees get 10 percent raise Municipal employees will receive a 10 per cent across the board increase retroactive to January 1, 1981 in an agreement reached with council. Council, passed a bylaw Monday authorizing an ammended salary and wage package for the town , empkyees. _ Finance committee chairman, Don Wheeler told council the committee presented the package deal to the employees and they accepted. Councillor Elsa flaydan questioned the sense of an across the d increase, claiming the rift between executive pe onnel and other town employees, was widened cons- erably. She charged that "the dif- ference between the salaries of the top and bottom employees was enormous." , Wheeler said the finance committee seriously considered implementing staggered increases but added it wasn't feasible to implement this year. "We looked at staggered increases but it would • have put some people out and taken away what they were entitkd to this year," he said. "In future we will pursue staggered increases." Under the new agreement the top salary of $33,252 in the executive group is paid to the clerk -treasurer at level 3 in the grid beginning April 1, 1981. The com- missioner of works will receive132,064 as of April 1 and the chief of police $30,246. Many employees m the executive group will receive a 10 per cent -hi -crease as Of JainiarY 1 and further increases April 1 as a result of movement within the grid sy stein. The car allowance system for employees remained the same but an allowance of $240 for the marina supervisor was added. After, a full year of employment, employees are entitled to two weeks vacation with pay, three weeks after five years, four weeks iri the tenth calendar year and five weeks for 20 years employment.The em- ployees also have a contract provision for eyeglass benefits. Wheeler told council he felt he agreement was an equitable one in view of -the inflation rate. over the past year. Council gets raise too. Goderich town councillors will receive more money for their services after passing a bylaw granting council a 10 per cent increase in annual salaries. Under the new salary agreement Mayor Harry Worsen will be paid $6,813 for 1981 or until the bylaw is repealed. The reeve, deputy -reeve and six coun- cillors will receive an annual salary of $3,406. Two-thirds of the salary is taxable income while the remaining third is considered an expense allowance for income tax purposes._ Council akto bocLstefl ex- pense allowances with the mileage rate increasing to 18 cents per kilometre from 13.5 cents or 30 cents per mile. The meal allowance was raised to $22 a day for any councillor on official out-of-town business. Deputy -reeve Bob Allen asked finance chairman Don Wheeler why there was no provision for car allowance for councillors. "I know what it costs and it's not fair," he said. "Some people have to do a lot of driving for council matters." Wheeler conceded that many councillors use their own vehicles for in town driving while conducting council business but said the 10 per cent salary in- crease was mainly aimed at expenses. Many cottage thefts reported. Closed cottages are still a prime theft target in this area and police snowmobile patrols are uncovering more breakins. The Goderich detadunent of the OPP have been patrolling cottage ares and discovering numerous breakins in isolated areas but the numbers are well below last year's tally. , There were three break and enters reported in the Bayfield area and three more were reported in an area just south of Amberley. In most cases owners have removed all valuables and thefts are minimal. In January more than 20 cottages were broken into in the Huron Sands area in Ashfield Township and on the same day breakins were reported near Horizon View Road. The OPP also reported a two -car colhSion near Belfast on County Road 1 Wednesday resulted in a # • damage estimate of $8,000 to vehicles driven by Helen Nicholson, R.R.2 Lucknow and David Huber, . Lucknow Damageto the Nicholson vehicle was estimated at $3,000 and $5,000 to the Huber vehicle. MR.
