Auburn council to study member pay; work session planned in March
Summary
Councilman Bob Parsons asked the Auburn City Council to review council compensation for the first time since 1998; staff will compile data and present it at a March work session ahead of the 2026 election.
Councilman Bob Parsons asked the Auburn City Council to review council compensation at the Committee of the Whole, and the council agreed to ask staff to assemble data for a work session later in March, Mayor Ron Anders said.
Anders said council compensation has not been evaluated since 1998 and that the process will inform the next council elected in August 2026 and sworn in November 2026. The mayor said he agreed the matter should be reviewed.
The action recorded in the mayor's minutes was a direction to staff — not a formal ordinance or vote recorded in the minutes — to provide comparative data and other information for council consideration. No timeline for final action or a proposal to change pay rates was recorded in the mayor's minutes.
