While the position of mayor, which staff recommended be red circled and not receive further increases next term, is sitting at the 65th percentile of market comparators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The market comparators used by staff include Bracebridge, Gravenhurst, Collingwood, East Gwillimbury, Essa, Essex, Innisfil, Orillia, Oro Medonte, Springwater, and Wasaga Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where compensation for the position of Town of Huntsville Mayor sits among comparators, below:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"259\" height=\"343\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/Mayors-position.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192961\" style=\"width:404px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/WQRWR0o5-Mayors-position-227x300.png 227w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/Mayors-position.png 259w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 259px) 100vw, 259px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Staff were recommending that for the 2026 to 2030 term of council, the deputy mayor and councillor positions be aligned with the 40th percentile of market comparators and receive annual cost-of-living increases. Huntsville Councillor Bob Stone put a motion on the table, which was seconded by Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock, asking councillors instead to align the two positions at the 35th percentile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The chart below shows the base increase at the 35th and 40th percentiles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"787\" height=\"231\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/35-or-40.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-192963\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/35-or-40-300x88.png 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/35-or-40-768x225.png 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/i2zW4ehv-35-or-40-630x185.png 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/35-or-40-600x176.png 600w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/i2zW4ehv-35-or-40-750x220.png 750w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/35-or-40.png 787w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 787px) 100vw, 787px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between the 35th and 40th percentile mark for the position of deputy mayor would be $628. The difference for the councillor position would be $223.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Bob Stone said that if the Town wants to continue to attract &#8220;quality citizens to run in the next election and elections going forward, we can&#8217;t continue to be offering a shrinking amount compared to other municipalities,&#8221; he said, adding &#8220;We&#8217;re not even close to what other municipalities are providing for their councillors&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Dione Schumacher asked for a recorded vote on the matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Scott Morrison said he could agree to move the deputy mayor position to the 40th percentile. He also reasoned that while voting for an increase to one&#8217;s own position, especially if one plans to run in the next election, could be perceived as a conflict, one could also argue that increasing pay to attract more candidates means more competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Cory Clarke said that while he understands where Councillor Stone is coming from with comments about attracting good candidates, based on the last election, there were no issues with attracting quality candidates. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think that really remuneration has anything to do with, or factors into, running good quality candidates in Huntsville.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarke also said that, given council&#8217;s last couple of budgets (2024 at 10.68%, 2025 at 4.84% and 2026 expected at 4.87%), he did not think the timing was right for an increase. He also noted that there are many people in the community who are not currently seeing wage increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deputy Mayor Dan Armour put forward a motion asking that the position of deputy mayor be paid at the 40th percentile. He said the position requires a lot of work, and it&#8217;s nice to be compensated appropriately for your time and effort. &#8220;Even though it&#8217;s not a lot of money, you want to make your town a great town, and if it attracts one person who may be considering to run this time because of this little bit of money, I think that&#8217;s great. I think competition is great&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville Mayor Nancy Alcock called it a difficult decision. &#8220;At the very least, I would ask council to consider looking at the deputy mayor&#8217;s salary because, sitting in this chair, we think that having a deputy mayor is rather symbolic, it&#8217;s not symbolic at all. The number of times the deputy mayor goes to events and meetings and things like that that represent not just the mayor but the council&#8230; I think that the role is increasing, not decreasing, and I think there should be some recognition,&#8221; said Alcock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Huntsville CAO Denise Corry said the reason staff were recommending the 40th percentile is to decrease the spread. &#8220;&#8230; we&#8217;re the biggest community in the District of Muskoka and certainly not the highest paid positions for council or deputy mayor.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Councillor Helena Renwick agreed and also noted that it is difficult to vote for an increase to your position, even though it would not apply until the next term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, when put to a vote, the majority of committee members agreed to increase the pay for the position of deputy mayor and bring it in line with the 40<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;percentile of comparators. Councillors Clarke and Schumacher voted against the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the staff report, the increase represents an additional $5,814 (23.4%) in pay for the deputy mayor position, bringing the total remuneration to $34,603, plus benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the position of councillor, a majority of the committee voted in favour of increasing councillor pay to the 35th percentile. The increase represents an additional $2,165 (11.2%), bringing the total compensation to $28,247, plus benefits for Huntsville Councillors. Councillors Clarke, Schumacher, and Morrison voted against the increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>District councillors who sit at the upper-tier municipality are also paid by the District of Muskoka. District councillors recently approved more than a <a href=\"http:\/\/District council to consider pay increases for the next term of council\">45 per cent raise for District councillors for next term<\/a>. All Huntsville District councillors, <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/next-term-of-district-council-to-see-significant-pay-increases\/\">including the mayor, voted against it<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/Next term of District council to see significant pay increases\">.<\/a> \u201cWe have to remember whose money is supporting these pay increases,&#8221; said Morrison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increases for the positions of Huntsville deputy mayor and councillor will take effect at the start of next term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All recommendations from Huntsville&#8217;s General Committee must be ratified by council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find more about this <a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2025\/07\/Council-Remuneration-Review.pdf\">HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<h5 style=\"text-align: center;\">Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Sign up <a href=\"https:\/\/doppleronline.ca\/huntsville\/dont-miss-out-on-doppler\/\"><u>here<\/u><\/a> to receive our email digest with links to our most recent stories.<br \/>\nLocal news in your inbox so you don&#8217;t miss anything!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"background: #5cb85c url('https:\/\/d1iczxrky3cnb2.cloudfront.net\/red_logo.png') no-repeat 37px; color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; display: inline-block; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 38px; padding-left: 75px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; border-radius: 2px; box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #1f5a89; text-shadow: 0 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);\" href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/support-huntsville-doppler\">Click here to support local news<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the June 25 General Committee meeting, the majority of councillors voted in favour of a pay raise for the positions of councillor and deputy mayor, effective next term.
