(KLZA)--A proposed amendment to an ordinance that would increase the pay for the Falls City mayor and city council moved another step forward Wednesday evening.
On a 6-1 vote, the Council approved a proposal to increase the salary for the mayor from $3,600 annually to $5,400 per year and the council member salaries would increase from $2,400 per year to $4,200.
Currently, the mayor is paid $300 monthly and the council members $200. If given final approval during the September 17 Council meeting, the pay would increase $150 per month for each council member and the mayor..
The total increase in pay would amount to an additional $16,200 annually.
Council member Charlie Bentley cast a nay vote. Councilman Kirby Roubidoux was absent. Councilman Mike Dougherty had cast a nay vote on the proposal on first reading but voted in favor of the proposal Wednesday night.
If given final approval, the pay increases would go into effect when the new council is seated in December.
