The mayor and the City Council may not get a raise until at least 2013. They may not get one even then unless the Consumer Price Index goes up. That’s the recommendation from a proposed salary schedule set by the city’s Salary Review Commission. I’ve attached a copy.
The mayor currently make
s $154,956.72 annually and City Council members earn $26,279.52. The proposal ties pay raises to the Consumer Price Index and it stipulates that the overall salary bump shall not exceed 3.6 percent. For the mayor, that would be a maximum of $5,578.44 annually and for council members $946.06.
The public may comment at the following public hearing dates:
