Salary details scant for council ceo

Details of the salary package Masterton District Council has offered its newly appointed chief executive Pim Borren are yet to be made public.

Dr Borren will succeed Wes ten Hove on June 30, the end of the financial year, although Mr ten Hove has indicated he will be leaving in late May.

According to the annual report 2013, Mr ten Hove's salary package was worth $190,403 a year.

It is not yet known whether remuneration for Dr Borren will match, or exceed, that amount.

Meanwhile sports fans in Wairarapa may be familiar with the name Borren through the local connection with Dr Borren's son, Peter.

The former Wairarapa cricket captain led the senior side here on a brief trip in 2011. His form l proved good enough for him to be selected for the Central Districts one-day side. Peter Borren moved to the Netherlands in 2002 when he was 18 and four years later became captain of the national cricket team.
