First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 922, an Ordinance Amending <br />Chapter 105 of the City Code to Increase Mayor and Council Member <br />Annual Compensation. <br /> <br />City Administrator Ericson stated this item has been discussed several times by the City Council, <br />along with the fact that the Council has not received a raise in the past 13 years. He reported an <br />Ordinance amendment was needed in order to increase the Mayor and Council Member <br />compensation. He described how the Council had reviewed the salaries of neighboring <br />communities and noted there was a pay gap. Staff supported the proposed pay increase given the <br />increasing duties of the Council Members and Mayor. It was noted the Ordinance would become <br />effective January 1, 2017. <br /> <br />Mayor Flaherty asked if a public hearing would be held during the Second Reading of the <br />Ordinance.
