If council adds two aldermen to reflect Calgary’s population growth, we could be on the hook for an extra half-million dollars a year.
According to The Calgary Sun, over $250,000 is budgeted annually per alderman.
The proposal surfaced when council was trying to determine whether the community of Martindale should be moved from Ward 3 to Ward 5.
The population for Ward 3 is expected to be about 24 per cent more than what it should be when residents go to the polls in 2013.
