Kyle compensation recommendation polarizing

Two tumultuous hours of debate Tuesday pushed Kyle elected officials to postpone voting by a week’s time on a possible city council pay increase.

Kyle City Council members will hold a public forum on the proposed pay increase and possibly take action during a special called April 23 meeting.

Nearly a dozen residents spoke during a public forum April 16 to express concern over the council compensation committee’s recommendation to pay the council $1,000 a month, the mayor $1,300 a month and provide health insurance to each elected official.
