Impact analysis
Taxpayers won’t feel it yet, but future city budgets will likely carry a higher council payroll once the new pay scale kicks in.
Future council members—and possibly voters, if better pay draws a wider field of candidates—come out ahead.
Future taxpayers may end up covering the added cost, but no current group is immediately hurt.
