During the governance meeting on Feb. 11, council again discussed the recommendations of the public ad hoc council compensation review, regarding an increase in their pay.
Council voted to move the discussion to an ad hoc committee meeting later this month, which will then return to council’s attention at a following governance or council meeting.
The committee recommended a cost of living increase, which council approved last month.
Also recommended is a change of pay for attending assigned board, committee and commission in-town and out-of-town meetings, to match the town of Olds’ policy. This excludes serving on a regional body that pays a fee.
Town officials would receive $40 for the first hour and $20 for every following hour, not exceeding $175 per day. They are currently receiving $175 after four hours.
