Council voted 21-8 in favor of rejecting the executive committee recommendation that suggested the salary schedule represented a four per cent in?rease over 1984 plus certain adjustments due to re- evaluation of positions in relation to similiar positions in other counties. Moments earlier council endorsed a mo- tion granting councillors a four cent pay increase raising the 1985 per diem rate to $73 while councillors will receive $49 for a half-day session. In view of that, Morris reeve Bill Elston said that salary in- creases should reflect the county guidelines of four per cent. "We're setting a policy with our pay and it should be set for the rest of the county. At least that's my feeling," he said. "1'd be ' happy with four per cent or less because we have to keep things under control. I would support our raise if the others get • four per cent." Warden Tom Cunningham said council was taking four per cent as a guideline. Before going into closed session, Exeter reeve Bill Mickle said the salary schedule ranged from four per cent to 16.7. "Council 'should be told why," he said. "It's too high a variance." The proposed increases for department heads were as follows: 16.8 per cent or $7,748 for an annual salary of $53,976; deputy -clerk -16.5 per cent or $6,248 for an annual salary of $45,448; county engineer, 8:3 per cent or $3,848 for an annual salary of $50,076; medical officer of h:41th, 7.3 per cent or $4,420 for annual sala o. $64,818; planning director, 8.6 per cent• an annual salary of $47,190• ... ial services administrator, 10.3 per cent or $3,250 for an annual salary of $34,580; Huronview ad- ministrator, 6.8 per cent or $2,444 for an annual salary of $38,523; chief librarian, 4 per cent or $1,352 for an annual salary of $34,866 and museum curator, 4 per cent or $1,040 for an annual salary of $26,728. The motion sugges d that some ,of the salary increase into account ad- justments to b g the salary level to a comparative 1 vel with salaries paid to similar emplo ees in other counties. The increase pro ed for the clergy and deputy -clerk included the amount council granted for the investment of funds. However council turned back the pro- posaf and the 1985 executive committee will be asked to deal withthe matter. Those oting in favor _.of__Fhe salary recomme ` s.ation in uded; J. Austin, A.A.
