Council approves ordinance making mayoral stipend perpetual
Summary
The board approved ordinance 1549 to amend Chapter 2 to make the mayor's compensation a perpetual monthly stipend (staff said the change keeps the existing rate and removes the expiration); the motion passed by voice vote.
During old business, staff reviewed Ordinance 1549, explaining the proposal does not change the current rate but would make the mayor's compensation a perpetual monthly stipend rather than requiring periodic renewal.
A staff speaker told the board: "We're not introducing a proposal to change the rate of pay, just making it a perpetual payment arrangement." The ordinance language presented included a monthly stipend amount as written in the packet.
Council moved, seconded and approved the second reading of Ordinance 1549 by voice vote; no roll-call dissent was recorded on the transcript.
The measure updates city code language to avoid readdressing mayoral compensation at each transition, according to staff.
