Mark King - CapsuleCouncil remuneration was the hot topic on Council Capsule this morning as Chair of Community Services Mark King joined Matthew Sookram in studio.

King was one of four Councillors who did not vote for the raise.

King was asked why they feel this term has had more work than previous terms.

King says the upside is every Councillor is able to directly converse with staff on any issue that is brought to the table.

He says there should have been a different process with this proposal.

King was asked if council’s raise would affect future negotiations with unions, police and fire – whos contracts are set for renewal in 2016
