Attached is an ordinance setting the Mayor's salary for the calendar year 2021. Under Indiana law, I.C. 36-4-7-
2(c), the Mayor's salary may not be reduced from the prior year's amount. In recognition of the financial
difficulties faced by the City and by residents, this ordinance provides for no increase in the Mayor's salary from
2020.
I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is requested
that this bill be filed for 1st reading on September 28, 2020, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading
scheduled for October 12, 2020. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please let me

Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
