The highest earner in Troy in 2019, the latest figures available, was City Administrator Jeff Soland, who was paid $140,587, according to records provided to the BND from the city through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Troy Police Chief Brad Parson was the second-highest paid employee at $132,482, the records show.

Assistant Police Chief Brent Shownes was third on the list with a salary of $125,076.

The BND’s Public Pay Database goes back to 2011 with information obtained through Freedom of Information Act requests. The salary information does not always include insurance or benefits. Some records include detailed information on overtime and other pay, while for some districts that information was not readily available.

The database includes worker compensation in most local governments, including cities, counties, townships, school districts and local colleges and universities. More pay records will be added as the BND receives salary data through open records requests.
