Council Compensation in Other Cities

Before last Tuesday's meeting, Councilor Burk Tower provided each of us with a summary table of compensation for elected officials in comparable municipalities and counties. The summary can be found here. As noted previously, Tower is proposing to raise the Mayor's compensation from $3,000 to $6,000 and the Council's from $2,400 to $3,750. The increases would kick in after the April 2009 elections.
