Six figure City: Nearly 700 Surrey employees paid $100,000 or more last year
Working for the City of Surrey is a pretty well-paying gig for close to 700 municipal employees.
According to a financial disclosure document released this week, 657 employees made more than $100,000 before tax in 2023. Another 18 were paid a salary of $200,000 or more.
City Manager Robert Costanzo was the highest-paid employee, with a base salary of just over $318,000.
The salary information was released as part of a wider report on Surrey’s finances. An increase in expenses in 2023 was primarily attributed to increases in police and fire services, roads and safety, and sewer and solid waste services.
