Dellwood council approves $2,400 annual pay for council members; one abstention
Summary
Dellwood's City Council voted to set councilmember compensation (excluding the mayor) at $2,400 per year, payable $200 monthly beginning Jan. 1, 2025; the motion passed with one abstention.
The Dellwood City Council voted July 9 to establish annual pay for council members (excluding the mayor) at $2,400, payable at $200 per month beginning Jan. 1, 2025. Mayor Mike McGill moved the increase and Councilmember Brady Ramsay seconded the motion.
Council discussion noted an increased amount of time required of councilmembers to address city business and raised whether the city may need to hire administrative support. The council adopted the salary increase after debate; Councilmember Scott St. Martin abstained from the final vote while the other three members voted in favor.
By setting the payment to begin Jan. 1, 2025, the council provided an explicit effective date. The motion did not include a change to the mayor's compensation.
Next steps: the salary will be paid monthly beginning with the stated effective date; no additional implementation detail was recorded in the minutes.
