A staff report compares council’s remuneration to several other communities with similar populations in
the region and the province.

In Belleville the mayor is paid $81,000 plus benefits and councillors receive $28,000.
Prince Edward County has a much lower population and there the mayor gets close to $48,000 and
councillors $23,600.
