Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 admitted Monday that he has been paid a $13,000 annual stipend for serving on the Cambridge school committee, even though the mayor's yearly salary--now more than $44,000--had been adjusted in 1988 to include that stipend.
Reeves said he only became aware of the overcompensation last Friday, when questioned by the Cambridge Chronide.
Ball said the oversight was not detected prior to last week because Reeves' predecessors, Alfred E. Vellucci and Alice K. Wolf, had turned down the stipend, and the money had been returned to the committee.
Mayor Kenneth E. Reeves '72 had asked the council last Monday to extend Healy's term, due to expire in June, through the middle of 1997. Healy has been in office since 1981.
"My own hope is that a meeting will provide a forum in which both citizens and councillors with opinions over the contract will have the opportunity to state them," Reeves said.
