Bo Hastey proposes raising Pine Mountain mayor and council salaries
Summary
At a Feb. 11 work session, Bo Hastey recommended raising the mayor’s annual pay from $1,800 to $6,000 and each council member’s pay from $360 to $4,500; no formal vote was taken and the proposal will be discussed at a future meeting.
Bo Hastey recommended raising the Town of Pine Mountain’s mayoral and council salaries during the Feb. 11 work session. He proposed increasing the mayor’s annual pay from $1,800 ($150 per month) to $6,000 ($500 per month) and increasing each council member’s annual pay from $360 to $4,500 ($375 per month).
The recommendation was presented to the mayor and council for consideration; the transcript does not record a motion, second, or vote. The change was framed as a proposal for future discussion rather than an enacted change.
Current pay levels cited in the presentation were $1,800 annually for the mayor and $360 annually for council members. The work session did not include a vote or adoption of any ordinance or resolution to enact new salaries. No fiscal analysis or funding source was provided in the session record that would show how higher salaries would affect the town budget.
The session’s minutes indicate the salary recommendation will be discussed at an upcoming meeting where formal action, if any, would occur.
