OneCity's Christine Boyle: 'This is real garbage.'
Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim was successful Tuesday in adding an additional $80,000 to his $1.47-million office budget to hire a scheduler, despite pushback from council’s three opposition councillors.
The mayor reminded councillors that the $80,000 was previously approved in this year’s budget to fund an administrative assistant for the mayor’s office. The funds, however, were to be allocated to the city clerk’s budget. The report continued that the required duties are “intrinsically connected to the mayor’s activities and are not conducive to effective performance by an employee who reports through the city’s administrative structure to the city clerk.”
