At the May 20, 2025 City Council meeting, Council provided direction to establish a
Council Compensation committee. One of the items City Council indicated that they
wanted the Committee to review is the professional development budget provided to the
Council, as it had not been reviewed since 2012.
Currently, the Mayor receives $3,600 per year and Council Members receive $2,700 per
year to be used for expenses related to their roles on Council. Attachment A provides a
history of their expenditures from FY 20-21 through FY 24-25.
