Stanwood: Council votes down raises
Members of the Stanwood City Council voted down an ordinance last week that would have approved salary raises for council members. They also voted against giving the mayor a raise.
However, the issue will likely come up again soon. The council is scheduled to discuss the possibility of forming a salary commission that would recommend salary levels to the council.
Councilmen Bill Carlton and Arne Wennerberg were the only council members to vote in favor of raising council pay. Carlton was the only member to vote to raise the mayor’s salary. Councilman Timothy Loney did not attend the Sept. 6 meeting, when the votes were taken.
Stanwood council members made an average of $307 per month during the first seven months of this year.
