The city solicitor will look into common council's request to rescind a motion made in 2002 that gives city managers a two-percent pension top-up. Councilor Bill Farren put forward the motion during last night's council meeting. Former City Manager Terry Totton will get an additional 16 thousand dollars annually as a result of the 2002 resolution, now that he has retired.
A motion by Farren to have the city solicitor approach the provincial government for an amendment to the Municipalities Act has also been referred. Farren says council should have the option of hiring senior staff either permanently or on contract. The act currently prohibits hiring senior staff for term employment.
