But a task force on pay is recommending that council members immediately get a small bump in pay to cover the cost-of-living increase skipped in 2021
The key task-force recommendation for Victoria council remuneration has passed its first test — the mayor’s insistence that it not take effect during the current council term.
The raise was put on hold after hundreds of people raised concerns about sitting council members increasing their own salaries, with many arguing it should not apply until the next council. While that increase would not take effect until the fall of 2026, the task force also recommends that councillors and the mayor immediately get a small bump in pay to cover the cost of living increase that was skipped in 2021 during the pandemic.
The task force report said it could not determine if city councillor is a full-time or part-time position, but did agree that “the value of the work being provided by each councillor was not being met by current compensation levels.” The task force has been meeting and interviewing each member of council. It says its recommendations were guided by the Union of B.C. Municipalities’ councillor remuneration guide, the MNP governance review of city council and the Drive Organizational Development report on elected officials remuneration.
