Kelowna city officials propose pay raises for Mayor Tom Dyas and councillors based on lower salaries compared to similar cities.

Kelowna city officials propose a significant pay raise for Mayor Tom Dyas (from $126,497 to $145,200) and city councillors (from $42,991 to $58,080). The increase is based on the argument that their current salaries are lower than those of their peers in similar-sized cities. The council will discuss the matter on March 25, and if approved, the changes would take effect immediately, sourced from city savings.
