To: Mayor Campbell and Members of the City Council
From: Judy K. Parks, City Attorney
Date: April 17, 2017
Subject: Mayor and Council Member Compensation Ordinance
During approval of the City's FY 2017/18 budget, an increase in the annual
compensation of elected officials was approved. The compensation of the Mayor is to
increase from the present annual amount of$8,000 to $11,000, and the compensation of
council members is to increase from its current rate of$7,000 per annum to $10,000.
Because compensation of elected officials is established by ordinance, amendment to
the existing Municipal Code is needed to make these changes. The amendment needs to
be done prior to January 1, 2018, when the change will go into effect.
A proposed ordinance which will establish these changes is attached. Your favorable
consideration of this is requested in order to have all three readings and publication
completed as council directed.
