Background Information•
The last compensation adjustment for the Mayor and Council occurred 12 years ago.
At that time we were at about 1/3 of our current service population and had an
assessed valuation of $1.3 billion versus the current $7.5 billion. The Mayor and
Council attend a significant number of meetings both locally and regionally which
takes time and also requires travel expenses. The budget team has included
$450.00 per month in the 07-08 budget for the Mayor and each councilmember.
