Mayor, council discuss compensation changes
MEDICINE HAT, AB — Many councillors had an opinion when discussing the changes to council compensation as listed on the council agenda.
Mayor Ted Clugston made it clear that this would not be a ‘massive increase’ and went as far as saying that he’ll be taking a net decrease when these new changes take effect in the new year.
“It’s really not an increase at all in the base compensation for the mayor or the council members,” said Robert Nicolay, chief administrative officer for the city.
