No Christmas bonus for members of Council in Dryden.
Council entered the holiday break by deciding against a proposed pay hike.
The remuneration adjustment was presented after the federal government eliminated a one-third non-taxable allowance for Municipal Councils effective January 1st.
The proposed increase would have boosted pay for Mayor to over 25-thousand dollars, 15-grand for the Deputy Mayor and just over 11-thousand for a member of council.
The net cost to the City of Dryden would have been more than 13-thousand dollars.
However, Council has decided on no adjustments and the remuneration policy will be reviewed in 2021.
