Summary

The council reintroduced an ordinance to establish compensation for mayor and council members, including a proposal to pay $100 for meetings beyond regular and workshop meetings; members said they planned to vote on the measure at the next regular meeting.

Council members reintroduced an ordinance to establish compensation for the mayor and council. A council member summarized the proposal and urged prompt action: "You get paid for the workshop. You get paid for the regular meeting. Any meetings after that, then I think we should also be compensated at a rate of $100, and we'd like to vote on it tomorrow and get it done."

Members said the proposal reflected the rates previously discussed and did not represent a significant change from the earlier draft that had been tabled. No final vote on the ordinance was recorded at the workshop; the council indicated they planned to bring the item forward for a vote the following day.
