The highest earner in 2019, the latest figures available from the township through a Freedom of Information Act request, was Chris Davis, an employee with the Highway Department, who was paid $66,826.
Highway Commissioner Sal Elkott was the second-highest earner employed by the township, bringing in $60,000 the records show.
Sewer Department Manager Theresa Drumm was third on the list with a salary of $47,362.
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.
