Council overturns
motion on pay degrease
Goderich town council overturned a
motion calling for a fiveper'nt reduction'
in its annual remuneration of active July
1,1984.
The motion, intrpduced 'hy Jim Searls,
was defeated by a 6-3 margin in a recorded
vote at council's regular meeting Monday.
In speaking to the motion, Searls said
that councillors are now attending less
meetings, that there are fewer committees
and that there are fewer night meetings.
"Larger communities than Goderich
pay less," he said. "At election time every
councillor talked about restraint but
council does not practice what it
preaches."
Councillor Bill Clifford presented
council with a schedule and summary of
the remuneration paid to mayors, reeves,
deputy -reeves and councillors of seven
municipalities of a comparable size.
"I requested a random survey and
Goderich was 15 per cent lower than the
average," he said. "In view of that, I
cannot supput v q renuctton. "
The summary included the
remuneration schedules of the town of
Strathroy, Ingersoll, Hanover,
amherstburg, Dunnville, Bradford and
Paris. The average pay for the mayor in
those centres was $9,211 compared to the
Goderich figure of $8,263. The average pay
for reeves was $5,204 compared to $4,131 in
Goderich while the average for deputy -
reeves and councillors was $5,189 and
$4,751 respectively. Town of Goderich
councillors and the deputy -reeve earn
$4,131 annually.
John Doherty, seconder of the motion,
said that perhaps pay should be geared to
an attendance schedule.
Searls told council his survey included
the city of Woodstock and the town of
Tillsonburg. Searls, Doherty and Bob
Cornish voted in favor of the motion while
Mayor Eileen Palmer, 'reeve Harry
Worsell, deputy -reeve Jim Britnell and
councillors Don Wheeler, Bill Clifford and
Glen Carey voted against the motion.
