Council member asks staff to research possible stipend increase for Plano councilors
Summary
A council member asked staff to bring a recommendation comparing council member stipends with peer cities and to consider increasing the stipend for attendance and time reimbursement.
A member of the Plano City Council asked staff Sept. 8 to research the possibility of increasing the stipend paid to council members and to bring back a recommendation. The council member said it has been "more than, I don't know, 10 years since the last time there's any type of consideration for council members' salary" and asked staff to compare Plano's stipend with other cities and recommend what is "fair and reasonable." The mayor acknowledged the request and said the item would be placed on a future agenda for study. No specific dollar amounts or draft ordinance language were presented at the Sept. 8 meeting; the request was recorded as direction to staff to return with a recommendation at a future meeting. The council did not vote on any stipend change on Sept. 8.
