Cultus Lake Park Board to undertake remuneration review

CULTUS LAKE — The Cultus Lake Park Board has agreed to undertake a routine review of its commissioner remuneration, according to minutes from its meeting held last week.

The five-member park board approved a motion last Wednesday, Sept. 15, that would see their remuneration compared to smaller municipalities like Lillooett, Harrison Hot Springs, Pemberton, Keremeos, and Keremeos.

This remuneration analysis occurs prior to the next municipal election using an outside contractor hired by the park board to perform an analysis comparator municipalities. Remuneration is then recommended by the outgoing park board.

In 2024, park commissioners who did not serve as chair or vice chair of the five-member board earned a base salary of $17,090.16 annually, or $1,424.18 monthly. Those three commissioners consist of Darcy Bauer, Erika Jartved and Thomas Moul. They also received a communications expenses of $1,200, or $100 monthly, to cover things like telecommunications expenditures related to their roles as commissioners.
