Re: Proposed 2017 Council Member Salary Ordinance
Dear Council Members:
(574)235 -5567 TTY/TDD
Yesterday, I presented the proposed Common Council budget for the 2017 calendar year before
the Personnel and Finance Committee. I noted at that time, that the proposed Council budget
included a salary increase for members of the Common Council at 2 %. If approved, this would be
result in an increase of $372 over the current maximum salary.
I recommend that the proposed ordinance be referred to the Personnel and Finance Committee for
review and recommendation and then set for 2» d & 3rd readings and public hearing at the October
1 th Council meeting. Thank you.
