A natural disaster is being targeted for a hike to employee salaries in Lumby. The village has released its financial statements for 2014 and it indicates that five employees earned more than $75,000. “Those were due to overtime costs with flooding,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. Remuneration and expenses paid out for the five employees was $454,433, with the cost for all village employees being $1.12 million. Leading the pack was chief administrative officer Tom Kadla with a salary of $108,765 and expenses of $14,114. He was followed by Jeremy Sundin, director of finance, with a wage of $89,398 and expenses of $3,574. Acton insists that the village must pay a certain wage level if it’s to attract and retain staff with the necessary skills. “We are very well looked after for a reasonable wage,” he said. Financial statements have also been released for council members in 2014. Acton had remuneration of $13,035 and expenses of $6,998. “The expenses are mostly for attending the Union of B.C. Municipalities and Southern Interior Local Government Association conferences and I’m taking a number of courses to improve my leadership skills,” he said. “Going to these conferences and doing the community’s business is mandatory.” Councillors Nick Hodge, Lori Mindnich and Randal Ostafichuk received a salary of $6,906 for serving an entire calendar year, while Jo Anne Fisher, who did not seek re-election, received $6,640 and Julie Pilon, who was elected in November, got $265.In terms of expenses, there was $562 for Fisher, $3,551 for Hodge, $5,769 for Mindnich, $5,790 for Ostafichuk and $1,207 for Pilon.
