Saint John Council to Discuss Salaries on Monday

Common Council is expected to discuss how much money it makes at the meeting Monday. A report from an external consultant on council salaries is on the agenda, according to the Telegraph-Journal…but no details have been released. The bylaw governing council salaries hasn’t been updated in 15 years. It says the Mayor makes $38,000 in annual salary plus an allowance of $19,000 for expenses. Councillors are paid $12,666 a year with an allowance of $6,333. That’s what was set in 2001.
