A pause on pay increases for council members in Lakeshore has been lifted.
During Tuesday's meeting, deputy mayor Kirk Walstedt presented a motion to council asking they approve an increase to council member compensation.
The motion was unanimously passed by council.
A 5.56 per cent increase was approved during the 2023 Budget deliberations, however council put a freeze on the increase for administration and council members until the policy was reviewed based on the 24-month consumer price index calculation.
Council recently lifted the freeze for administration.
Since the increase was approved in the budget, there will be no financial impact on the Municipality.
