Maryville’s top three earners for the 2019 fiscal year are all employees of the Maryville Police Department.

The highest paid employee in 2019, the latest figures available, was Police Chief Robert L. Carpenter, who received $102,158, according to records provided to the BND from the City of Maryville through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Police Detective Stephen M. Howe was the second-highest earner employed by the city, bringing in $99,712, the records show.

Police Sgt. Brandon L. Ponce was third on the list with a salary of $99,648.

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.
