100K Club grows at WL City Hall

As I noted yesterday, WL City Council will receive its 2013 SOFI or Statement of Financial Information Report which includes pay/expenses for itself and that of its Staff at its Tuesday meeting.  This blog post will look at WL City Staff pay/expenses.  See the full report here

For starters - the amount of money paid to those earning under $75,000 in 2011 was $5,350,896.76 and 2012 - it is $4,980,009.95.  However - total paid to City Staff (Salary) in 2012 was $7,166,358.79 however in 2011 (Salary) - this amount was $6,796,523.64

For the infamous "$100,000 Club" - in 2011, only 6 City Staff Members qualified, namely the positions of CAO, Director of Municipal Services, GM of Planning and Operations, Director of Financial Services, Director of Protective Services (Fire Chief), and Director of Community Services

In 2012 - this same club grew by 2 to include 8 positions which includes the CAO, GM of Planning and Operations, Director of Financial Services, Director of Protective Services (Fire Chief), Director of Municipal Services, Director of Recreation and Community Services, Fire Prevention Training Officer, and Fire Prevention Inspector

For specific numbers:

Please note for the position of CAO in 2012 - Brian Carruthers took a 60 day leave in June of 2012 and then resigned his position as CAO in September of 2012 to take on the role of CAO for the Regional District of Central Kootenay.  Also - it is my understanding that while Geoff Goodall takes on the role of Acting CAO - he is entitled to a pay hike for every month that he is Acting CAO
