When the new city council and mayor are sworn in next May, they will be paid the same as the current council. City Clerk Rudy Witsman said any changes to the council’s and mayor’s pay must be approved at least 180 days before the April 2nd election. But, commissioners last night said with the current budget situation, there should be no bump in pay.
Witsman said petitions for the city election will be available starting September 19th with the filing period running from December 10th through the 17th. All four council seats and the mayor’s post will be up for election next April.
