Saskatoon council to decide on adjusting mayor's, councillors' salaries

Saskatoon city council could decide on Tuesday whether to give itself a raise next year … sort of.
A city report recommends boosting the salaries of Mayor Charlie Clark and the 10 city councillors next year to make up for the elimination of the tax-free portion of elected officials’ salaries.
The move would mean an extra $122,000 in salary costs, which is equivalent to a 0.05 per cent property tax increase next year, even though politicians’ overall income would not increase.
