The City has a Local Officers Compensation Commission that gathers once every two years to determine the pay of each member of City Council. Historically, the Mayor has been paid a little more than each Councilperson. The City Council can reject recommendations by a two-thirds vote, leaving the current salary schedule in place. Below is the pay scale:
| FY 2023 | FY 2022 | FY 2021 | FY 2020 | FY 2019 | FY 2018 | FY 2015 | |
| Mayor | $4,520 | $4,520 | $4,520 | $4,431 | $4,344 | $4,258 | $4,174 |
| Councilmember | $3,780 | $3,780 | $3,780 | $3,705 | $3,632 | $3,560 | $3,490 |
| Per Meeting | $52 | $52 | $52 | $51 | $50 | $45 | $40 |
| Meeting Maximum | 52 | 52 | 52 | 52 | 52 | 52 | 52 |
My actual pay for calendar year 2019 was $6,051.
