CVRA WORKING GROUP RECOMMENDATION – REDUCING BARRIERS TO RUNNING FOR CITY COUNCIL AND WORKING ON CITY COUNCIL

RECOMMENDATION:
Refine direction to Staff to prepare and present an ordinance to increase Council Member compensation and create a vehicle stipend. Staff recommends increasing Council Member salaries from $29,196 annually to $41,600 annually. The revised salary was derived by applying annual Consumer Price Indexes between 2007 (the last year Council Member salaries were adjusted) and 2022. Council could consider providing the Mayor a salary that is 15%-25% higher considering the higher demands that are often placed on the Mayor. This would provide a salary for the Mayor in the range of $47,840 - $52,000. Staff also recommends creating a vehicle stipend of $400 per month to be used in lieu of mileage reimbursement for all normal business-related travel. Click to View
