Manassas council approves ordinance setting annual salaries for mayor, council
Summary
On Sept. 22, 2025 the Manassas City Council approved uncodified ordinance O2026‑O64 establishing annual salaries for the mayor and council members; the measure passed after a brief roll call with Councilmember Teresa Coates Ellis voting no.
The Manassas City Council voted Sept. 22 to adopt uncodified ordinance O2026‑O64, which establishes the annual salary for the mayor and members of the City Council.
The council approved the ordinance on a roll‑call vote after a motion by Vice Mayor Wolf and a second from Councilmember Ocina. Councilmember Teresa Coates Ellis cast the sole recorded no vote; other members recorded as voting yes during the roll call were Vice Mayor Wolf, Councilmember Ocina, Councilmember Smith and Councilmember Hudson. The motion carried.
The ordinance was considered during the council’s regular meeting and was moved up on the agenda so Vice Mayor Wolf could depart early for religious observance. Council discussion on the ordinance was limited; the council clerk conducted a roll call and the measure was adopted without further debate.
The ordinance is uncodified, listed in the meeting record as O2026‑O64. The council did not discuss implementation details, specific salary amounts, or a timeline for the salary adjustments during the public portion of the meeting; the motion and vote focused on adoption of the ordinance as presented.
The vote completes the council’s formal action under the ordinance. Any administrative steps to publish the ordinance or to implement pay changes will be handled by city staff in follow‑up, if specified in the ordinance or accompanying administrative instructions.
