For 2015, the local community has released it's payroll details for all major employees. This is one of the perks of using digital payroll software similar to Cloudpay payroll services 1. Here are the details are broken down into salaries, benefits, health, mileage and conferences etc: It cost taxpayers $278,791.12 for salaries and expenses for its mayor and councillors in 2015. That $280,000 is a tiny fraction of the Township's annual budget expenditure of roughly $34 million. Mayor Steve Pellegrini earned $46,777.06, with payroll benefits of $6,492.48 and health benefits of $5,865.24. He incurred another $2,598.73 in mileage and another $2.060.77 in expenses for conferences, memberships, etc. All councillors were given the identical $5,865.24 in health benefits. They are also given $350 each for their cell phones. Treasurer Allan Evelyn explained that payroll benefits are deductions and pension contributions, while health benefits include insurance premiums.
