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.
