Councillor Luke Charbonneau continued his opposition to the raise.
He thinks the municipality should be setting a better example of restraint when economic pressures are mounting.
Councillors Victoria Serda and Jane Barber believe providing adequate remuneration for councillors will ensure not just people with higher incomes will get involved in local politics.
Vice Deputy Mayor Doug Gowanlock suggested if councillors feel they are receiving too much for what they do, they could donate some of it to a community charity or project.
