Councilmember Geraldine Champion requested a 25% salary increase for Henderson’s councilmembers and the mayor, noting training opportunities and prior strategic planning discussion. City Manager Edward T. Blackmon provided council with comparative salary information and said current council salaries appeared competitive; he said he would look into the matter and that any recommendation would likely come from the City Manager’s office for later discussion.
