ROSSFORD — Three incumbents were returned to City Council, but they won’t be getting a pay
hike.Winning re-election were: Chuck Duricek, 1168 votes, Caroline Eckel, 1067, and Jerry Staczek, 892.
Joining them, will be Daniel J. Wagner, 936. Wagner is president of the Toledo Patrolmen’s Union.Failing in
their bids for council were Robert Densic, 872, who ran on a strict small government platform, and former
police chief Dennis J. Foy, Sr., 762.Voters turned down two charter amendments that would have raised the
pay of members of council and the mayor. Council pay, which hasn’t changed in 20 years, would have risen to
$8,400 annually up from $3,000. The other amendment would have hiked the mayor’s pay to $18,000, up from
$7,500.Mayor Neil MacKinnon supported the raise for council, but not for mayor.A survey done by council
showed that its pay and that of the mayor were with one exception the lowest in the region.The issue though
didn’t seem to impact the council race. Staczek and Duricek spoke against the raises, though they voted to
put the charter amendment on the ballot, and Eckel was one of the strongest proponents.Densic on the other
hand spoke against the raises when they were first debated on council and during the campaign.Michael Scott,
who’d served one term on council, had resigned from his seat on Sept. 1 to take a spot on the board of the
Northwestern Sewer and Water District.ROSSFORD — Three incumbents were returned to City Council, but they
