City council will consider two potential alternatives to the current system used for setting pay increases for mayor and council.
Options outlining possible changes to how city council’s remuneration is reviewed, and set will be up for discussion by city council on Monday night.
At the same meeting, city council also requested a report back before the Oct. 15 election, outlining alternative options for reviewing city council’s compensation. In addition, mayor and council receive an annual adjustment to their remuneration equal to the lesser of: the annual wage adjustment applied to City of Prince George exempt staff salaries or the average of the wage adjustment for the fiscal year for the public administration industry published by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada as the Average Annual Percentage Wage Adjustments by quarter.
“The first option presented is to maintain the current framework set out in the Council Remuneration Bylaw, but direct staff to review the peer municipalities referenced in the bylaw with a view to if changes should be made to the peer municipality list,” Babicz wrote “The intent would be to remove and/or replace one or more cities on the list with other cities that are more similar to the City of Prince George in terms of population, trends or challenges.
