Analysis

Per City Charter, the office of Mayor may receive a salary in an amount to be fixed by the city council but cannot exceed $100 per month.  Although the office of Mayor has been paid $100 per month, no official action has been found to authorize this payment.  This resolution will take action to make this monthly payment official.

 

Financial Consideration

There is no financial change in the amount of the monthly payment to the Mayor.

 

Body

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF GRAND PRAIRIE, TEXAS, AUTHORIZING PAYMENT OF $100 PER MONTH FOR THE OFFICE OF MAYOR

 

Whereas,  Article IV, Section 12(a) of the City Charter states that the mayor may receive an amount to be fixed by the city council, but which amount shall in no event be more than one hundred dollars ($100.00) per month;

 

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of GRAND PRAIRIE, Texas that:

 

Section 1.  The office of Mayor shall be compensated in the amount of $100 per month; and

 

Section 2.  The amount of $100 per month can only be exceeded through a Charter Amendment election.
