Summary

Council approved a second-reading ordinance to set future adjustments to mayor and council compensation following 2026 and 2028 municipal elections or a prior vacancy; staff emphasized that no current member will receive an increase during their term.

Council approved on second reading an ordinance that would adjust compensation for the mayor and city council following future elections or vacancies, with adjustments tied to a state law formula and peer community practice.

Staff noted the change would take effect after the 2026 and 2028 municipal elections or upon a vacancy and stressed, "no current member of the governing body will receive a compensation adjustment" because the state constitution prohibits altering salaries during an elected official's term. The motion to approve passed by roll call.
