Council raises city council pay, defers change to mayor's pay
Summary
Council approved raising city council pay to an even $600 per month (about a 5.8% increase) and deferred any adjustment to the mayor's $3,100 monthly pay to a future meeting.
The council approved the presenter's recommendation to round the city council monthly stipend to $600 (described on the record as roughly a 5.8% increase for council positions).
The presenter said he reviewed last year's approach and proposed rounding the council rate to $600 a month. Discussion touched on the mayor's pay: the mayor said, "Well, I make $3,100 a month," and the council elected to put any change to the mayor's compensation on a future agenda rather than act immediately. The council voted to approve the city-council stipend change.
The council did not adopt any change to the mayor's pay at this meeting; the matter will return for further consideration.
