The city's six deputy mayors and health director, who on average make more than $150,000 a year and are normally exempt from making overtime, collectively raked in more than $100,000 in both emergency pay and overtime.

FOX 8 scoured payroll documents from the end of August through the end of September.

Kopplin, who makes $179,000 a year, earned an extra $14,000. That includes 117 hours worth of emergency pay and 58 hours of overtime.

Cedric Grant, who's in charge of facilities and infrastructure, was paid for 117 hours of overtime. He racked up almost $16,000 more than usual.
