Town’s representation on Sunshine List more than doubled


By Bill Rea
There are some well-paid people working for the Town of Caledon, and the Province last week issued figures to prove it.
The province issued it's annual list of public sector employees who made more than $100,000 in 2012. The list is known by a couple of names, including the Sunshine List.
This year's list contained the names of 36 employees of the Town; up noticeably from the 15 who made the list in 2012.
Town Chief Administrative Officer Douglas Barnes brought the matter up at Tuesday's council meeting, pointing out things aren't as alarming as they might seem. He said 16 of the 21 new people on the list are full-time fire fighters who received back pay from a “retroactive arbitration” award, another was a public works employee who was elevated to the list after putting in a lot of overtime and four more were managers who had advanced in their salary grid to the point that they passed the $100,000 mark.
Barnes also pointed out the $100,000 Sunshine List was created 17 years ago. If the threshold of the list had been increased by $1,000 every year, Caledon's representation would have been cut in half.
Councillor Nick deBoer agreed, pointing out making the Sunshine List would have meant more some years ago than it does today.
Heading the list in Caledon was Barnes himself, who received $219,189.02 in salary and $1,216.80 in taxable benefits.
Coming in second in the earning race was Chief Financial Officer, Deputy Chief Administrative Officer and Director of Corporate Services Ronald Kaufman, who was paid $172,680.85, plus $1,052.48 in benefits.
