Filatov came up with a way to significantly raise his own and his deputies' salaries.

At its regular meeting, the Dnipro City Council approved a new monthly bonus for the mayor: Mayor Borys Filatov and Embassy Secretary Vyacheslav Mishalov will now receive a subsidy equal to eight salaries. City Council Member Serhiy Sukhanov (Opposition Bloc) informed media outlets from Ukrainian News of this unexpected development, noting that the majority of representatives from the BPP, Samopomich, UKROP, and other factions voted affirmatively for this unexpected proposal.
The adopted document states the following verbatim: "Implement monthly bonuses within the limits of funds allocated for bonuses in the budgets for the retention of the city council and its executive bodies for 2016 and savings in the wage fund in amounts that do not exceed the maximum amount specified in the addendum." It is stipulated that similar bonuses will be available to other employees, including specialists and deputies; however, their bonus amounts will be more modest, ranging from 400% to 700%.
Sukhanov himself is outraged by this practice: "Raising his own salary eightfold is simply unconscionable. A normal mayor would use the funds to increase the salaries of other public sector employees, like teachers and doctors. But Filatov is demonstrating that he doesn't care about the fate of teachers!"
