According to a severance and termination pay report released on Tuesday, the County dolled out $1.1-million in 2024, 0.61 per cent of the total salary budget. Since 2020, the County has more than tripled what they pay for severance each year.
- 2020: over $283,000
- 2021: over $681,000
- 2022 and 2023: just under $826,600 per year
- 2024: around $1,100,000
Because this line was outlined in last year’s budget reports, it will be added to all future budget reports.
