Explanation/Summary (attach supplement eets as a=--ssary.) SUMMARY; Last year, during the 1993 budget process, salary adjustments for Mayor and Council were budgeted for and informally approved. Although these funds have been available, they have not been utilized because state law and municipal code states "a salary increase cannot become effective until after the next municipal election. " With the upcoming special election scheduled for August 24, 1993, it is proposed that Ordinance No. 527 be adopted approving compensation increases for Mayor and Council. This would allow for the salary increases to become effective 30 days. after the ordinance is published (August 27) or 3 days after the special election. The current annual salary for the Mayor is $3 ;600. It is proposed that this salary be increased to $5, 100 per year. The current salary for Councilmembers is $3, 300/year. It is proposed that these salaries be increased to $4,500 per year. Although these adjustments represent salary increases, the Mounds View City Council is still one of the lowest paid in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area. /4 044 Tim Cruikshank, Asst. to City Admin. RECOMMENDATION: Motion to waive reading and approve introduction of Ordinance No. 527, salary increases for Mayor and Councilmembers.
