Council gets a raise

Spallumcheen council is getting a raise.  Council has voted in favour of a small pay hike to keep up with provincial standards.  “This is a small increase based on the consumer price index,” said Coun. Andrew Casson. The CPI hike of 2.4 per cent means Mayor Will Hansma will get a $441 raise, and councillors will receive an extra $221.  Hansma receives $18,819 per year as mayor, while councillors receive $9,410.  Chief financial officer Brian Freeman-Marsh pointed out that council did not receive a CPI raise in 2010.
