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.
