Dunedin chief executive takes salary cut during virus crisis

Nicole Reporter from Dunedin News

Dunedin council's chief executive – and her team – have offered to reduce their salaries as the city braces for the full impact of Covid-19.

First-term mayor Dunedin Mayor Aaron Hawkins issued a statement hours before a lockdown was due to take effect, saying rates increases maybe be deferred until at least July 1, 2021.

He also confirmed chief executive Sue Bidrose would reduce her $444,000 annual salary by 15 per cent over the next six months, saving ratepayers $33,300. The executive leadership team members have all volunteered to reduce their salaries in the short term.
