Pine Mountain council debates rescinding recent pay increases for mayor, council
Summary
Councilmembers revisited a May vote that raised mayor and council pay. Multiple motions to rescind were made on June 8; recorded votes show division among councilmembers, and the minutes do not state a definitive final tally for the later rescind motion.
At the June 8, 2026 meeting, the Pine Mountain Mayor and Council discussed whether to undo an earlier decision to raise annual salaries for the mayor and council members. The minutes record that the council had approved an increase at the May meeting; members debated two separate motions on June 8 aimed at reversing that earlier action.
Councilmember Thomas E. Scott first moved to rescind the pay increase (seconded by James W. Trott Jr.). The minutes state that Councilmembers Frankie Mabry, Stokeley Pound and Curtis Bray voted against that rescind motion; the record indicates the motion failed to obtain the support of those members. Later in the meeting, Councilmember Frankie Mabry moved to rescind the May 11 and June 8 motions that had increased salaries; Thomas E. Scott seconded. The minutes record James W. Trott Jr. voting in favor and Stokeley Pound and Curtis Bray voting against, but do not provide a full roll-call or a final, explicit outcome for that second rescind motion in the text provided.
The changes under discussion would return pay to previously recorded levels: $1,800 annually for the mayor and $360 annually for council members unless a rescind motion prevailed. The minutes do not show any new compensation amounts being certified during the June 8 meeting beyond the motions recorded. The council did not list a subsequent implementation date or administrative steps tied to the motions in the excerpted minutes.
