Council approves executive and elected-official compensation measures
Summary
Council approved a compensation package for executive municipal officers (not to exceed $236,560 citywide in available increases) and adopted an ordinance setting mayor and council pay for FY2027 (mayor approx. $26,087; council $18,099). Required public hearings produced no public comment.
Springville City Council approved budgeted compensation changes for executive municipal officers and adopted an ordinance establishing pay for elected officials.
Finance staff explained that, consistent with policy, salary adjustments include a 3% cost-of-living adjustment in July and a merit pool (0–6% per individual) applied within budget constraints; the maximum total increase available for executive municipal officers in the proposed budget would not exceed $236,560 citywide. The council opened the required public hearing on executive-municipal-officer compensation and, with no public comment, closed the hearing and approved Resolution 2026-20 relating to the fiscal-year compensation overview.
Separately, staff explained that the mayor’s total compensation as included in the FY2027 budget would be about $26,087 (total compensation includes salary, a $2,400 stipend and employer payroll taxes) and council members’ compensation would be $18,099 each. Because state law requires an ordinance for elected-official compensation, the council held the public hearing (no comments) and then voted to approve Ordinance 21-2026 setting the compensation figures referenced on the record.
The council recorded roll-call votes in favor for both the executive-officer compensation resolution and the ordinance setting elected-official pay. Staff said statutory employees’ compensation will be managed by adopted pay tables maintained by human resources and applied according to grade placement in the budget.
Next steps: Compensation increases and pay schedules described tonight are subject to implementation under the adopted budget and pay tables; staff will apply merit allocations within the budgeted pools and report through regular human-resources processes.
