The Vancouver Citizen’s Commission on Mayor/City Council Salaries has scheduled its first meeting and public hearing for 5 p.m. Monday at the Esther Short Building.
The commission, established by a city charter section approved by voters in 1994, studies the relationship of salaries to the duties of the mayor and city council and sets their salaries.
The commission is comprised of five members of the community who are appointed by the mayor and subject to approval by the council.
Salary reviews are performed on a biannual basis to coincide with the city’s budget cycle. The commission must file the schedule of salaries for the mayor and council members with the city clerk by May 1.
