Council deletes section on meeting-fee pay, approves amended ordinance 7-29 on mayor compensation
Summary
Council debated proposed changes to ordinance 7-29 on mayoral compensation, voted to delete Section 4 (payment for attending outside meetings), and later approved the amended ordinance; clerk recorded the final approval as 4–0–1.
Council resumed consideration of ordinance 7-29, which would revise mayor and mayor-pro‑tem compensation and payment timing. After discussion about reimbursing mileage versus a fixed fee for attendance at outside committee meetings, a council member moved to delete Section 4 of the draft ordinance; that motion was seconded and the council approved removing the section. "I move to amend this proposed ordinance to delete section 4," a council member said during debate, and the motion carried.
Later, a motion was made and seconded to approve ordinance 7-29 as amended; the clerk recorded the vote as passing 4–0–1. The transcript records discussion about comparative salaries and possible increases but the ordinance was adopted only in its amended form; council members asked staff to ensure payroll/reporting timing and to correct a date reference in the draft.
