The salary information that was deeided last year was sent to each committee
member prior to the meeting. The committee approved a two percent (2%)
increase in 2016, making the councilmembers' salaries currently one thousand
two hundred finrenty four dollars ($1;224.00) per month, and the Deputy Mayor's
compensation one thousand six hundred thirty two dollars ($1,632.00) per mon#h.
In addition, fhe councilmembe�s are allowed up to two hundred dolla�s ($200.00)
per month for attending regional committee meetings for which the
councilmember was appointed, or($50.00) per meeting up to four(4).
The committee believes that there is reason to increase the councilmembers'
_ _ _
salaries again, and would like to do a market analysis of nearby jurisdictions.
There was conversation around the compensation for the regional committee
meetings, as a Council travel budget had recently been discussed. It was
cleared up that a travel budget is completely separate from the Mayor appointed
committees that would give them the additional fifty dollars ($50.00) per meeting,
per month, up to four (4).
It was moved and seconded to adopt a two percent (2%) increase for all
councilmembers now, followed by a market review with potential adjustment
(additional increase, decrease, o� no change). There was a unanimous vote for
the councilmembers' salaries to be increased. The councilmembers' salaries will

be one thousand two hundred forty eight dollars and forty eight cents ($1,248.48)
and the Deputy Mayor's compensation will be one thousand six hundred sixty
four dollars and si_xty four cents ($1,664.64), until further notice based on the
market review done by the committee.
