The Compensation Commission determines the annual compensation for the five elected officials of the City. There are five members of the commission who must be residents of the City or have a place of business in the City. Terms are staggered (initial appointments for two, four and six years) and begin Dec. 31 of the year in which they are appointed and run for six years or until their successors are appointed and qualified.
By Ordinance No. 19-94, the Compensation Commission is required to convene every two years and provide a recommendation to the Mayor and Council by March 31. Any change in compensation would not take effect until after the November 2011 elections.
The Compensation Commission must meet before Jan. 31 in an election year. At that meeting, the commission must discuss its mission of recommending possible changes to the salaries of the Mayor and Council members. Before making a recommendation and to assist with its deliberations, the commission seeks input from residents to express their opinions on various aspects of compensating the Mayor and Council, including, but not limited to: how the Mayor and Council compensation should be determined; the frequency of Mayor and Council compensation; who should determine the compensation of the Mayor and Council members; as well as other matters related in general to the compensation of the Mayor and Council members.
