The highest-paid worker in 2016 was a police sergeant whose pay included $9,485 in overtime pay, as opposed to 2015 when city manager Bryan Chodkowski whose 2016 gross pay of $104,601 was the only six-figure salary either year. Chodkowski abruptly resigned early last year and later took a job in another state. Former fire chief Mark Carpenter was promoted to replace Chodkowski in September.
