The city of Vancouver’s Citizen’s Commission on Mayor/City Council Salaries (also known as the Salary Review Commission) will hold a public meeting and hearing at 7 p.m. tonight (Wednesday, Aug. 10) at Vancouver City Hall, 415 W. 6th Street.
The commission’s purpose is to study the relationship of salaries to the duties of the mayor and city council members and to set their salaries.
A schedule of salaries for the mayor and council members was filed by the commission on April 20, but was later repealed by the city council. The commission must now reconvene to set a new schedule.
Salary reviews are performed every other year to coincide with the city’s budget cycle. The commission is comprised of five members of the community who are appointed by the mayor, subject to approval by the Vancouver City Council.
