A $1,000-plus monthly stipend and the option of health insurance is the recommended pay increase for Kyle city leaders from a city-council appointed committee
But one committee member questioned the appropriateness of the increase and whether or not Kyle is ready to handle the burden.
Discussions on the topic have been the subject of a five-person Compensation Committee, which is charged to craft a city council pay raise for Kyle city leaders. On Monday, the committee voted 4-1 to recommend a $1,300 monthly stipend for the mayor, a $1,000 per month stipend for each council member and the option for all city leaders to obtain health insurance through the city. Committee member Michael Tobias cast the lone dissenting vote. The committee will finalize its recommendation April 12.
