"I would like to see the whole thing reviewed." Deputy -reeves Bo1Q Alien,, sgacj the town sends representatives to negotiate wages and council would have to trust them. He also defended the grid system and claimed the salary figures ,were being misinterpreted. Reeve Eileen Palmer was quite distrubed 'over Haydon's comments and retorted that a lot of work went into the agreement with the employees and also defended the pay hike accepted by the municipal employees. "We are not paying our department heads or administration half of what they save us and never has so muchwork been done in Goderich with a slight mill rate increase than in the last three years," she said. "We have no complaints from young or old but the people who come for handouts are those we spoil with programs." Palmer informed council of a recent decision of the senior citizens to cancel the town sub- sidized taxi service. The town paid for cab fare for seniorswha required ..transpnrtation to -.club ---- functions and other personal needs. "The seniors said they would work out their own transportation system rather than be a burden on the taxpayers," Palmer said. Councillor Jim Searls wanted to know how the salaries in Goderich compared with other municipalities of the same size. "Some of those top salaries scare me,", he said. "We are exploiting students at the arena but think nothing of giving out $25,000 or $30,000." Councillor John Doherty insisted that town salaries should be updated according to ability while Jim Magee said that although the grid system was . workable there should be some reference to productivity. Some of the major salary hikes included a 21.6 per cent increase for the clerk that com- putes into a salary of $27,530. that figure in- cluded 13.6 per cent increase for a level change as well as the 'eight per cent increment: The deputy -clerk will get 16.9 per cent for $17,546 per annum while the works commissioner received 22 per cent with the eight per cent increase and level change to boost that salary to $26,360. A motion to review the salary hik"e was defeated and the bylaw was passed. Optimist.
