Some North Okanagan Regional District directors are in line for a wage

While he is the mayor of Lumby, Foster insists that he serves the region while at NORD. “There’s reading and I field one or two calls a day just for the regional district,” he said. No opposition for the increase is coming from the electoral area directors. “Matching compensation is fair,” said Rick Fairbairn, rural Lumby director and a finance committee member. The matter of remuneration first went before the NORD board in March. At the time, all board members agreed that everyone should receive the same base pay. It was up to the finance committee to determine what the level would be. On top of base pay, directors receive stipends for committee meetings they attend. Jerry Oglow, NORD chairman, is waiting to see what debate develops Wednesday. “There needs to be some equity in how we remunerate all of our directors,” he said.
