CORNWALL, Ontario – Cornwall City Council voted in favour of a pay increase for councillors. Council passed the motion that would give them a pay increase of $1,700 this year and $1,300 in 2020. These increases, along with the annual cost of living adjustment of two per cent that councillors receive annually will bring their salary to $22,000 by 2022, the end of term for the current council.

The first number of $1,700 makes up for the cancellation of the federal tax exemption program for municipal elected officials that was ended in 2018. A report from City administration shows that a Cornwall City Council have the tenth lowest pay as compared to 12 other municipalities. On the other hand, Cornwall has the fourth largest municipality out of those comparator cities and the second largest budget. See page 3 for rest of story.
