MONTEREY – The council will hold the first reading of a proposed ordinance to increase compensation for the mayor and council members, with changes taking effect Jan. 1, 2027. If approved, the mayor’s monthly pay would increase to $1,562.79 and council members’ to $1,064.20. The adjustment is based on a state-authorized formula allowing for a 5 percent annual increase from the last raise, which took effect in January 2024. The total fiscal impact of the proposed increase is $6,492.60 per year.
