Pay hike: Metro Vancouver's top official takes home half a million dollars

 

 

A top Metro Vancouver official reportedly received a big pay raise last year, along with performance pay. Chief Administrative Officer Jerry Dobrovolny was paid a base salary of more than $540,000, according to the regional district's 2024 financial information statement. That's an increase of about $90,000 from his base salary of about $452,000 in 2023. In addition, Dobrovolny received a $27,133 bonus and $25,276 in benefits. Dobrovolny’s total compensation last year was $592,416.

The reports of the top official’s salary increase come as Metro Vancouver faces a $250 million lawsuit from the former contractor of the North Shore wastewater treatment plant. The plant is estimated to cost the budget an additional $3 billion. Meanwhile, Dobrovolny declined to disclose his salary during a sit-down interview in July 2024.
