Broken Arrow adopts ordinance raising council compensation
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance setting annual pay at $12,000 for the mayor and $9,000 for council members, effective about April 4, 2025; the next review is scheduled in 2029.
The Broken Arrow City Council adopted an ordinance addressing council compensation at its March 4, 2025 meeting, Communications Director Aaron McCullough said.
"The mayor will get $12,000 a year, and the other four council members will get $9,000 a year," McCullough said, describing the ordinance's pay amounts. He said the ordinance goes into effect 30 days after signing and that, because the ordinance was signed at the March 4 meeting, the effective date is about April 4, 2025.
McCullough said the ordinance will not come back for council review until 2029. No ordinance number or roll-call vote tally was provided in the meeting transcript.
Councilor Lisa Ford said the change reflects the time demands on council members, noting many residents work weekdays and council members must be available in the evenings to meet with them.
The transcript did not include mover/second information or a recorded vote breakdown; the text states the ordinance was adopted.
