Yesterday I received my appointment by to the City of Tucson's Citizen's Commission on Public Service and Compensation. That is a rather long title for the seven member group that meets over a two-month period to recommend the salary levels for the Mayor and City Council members here in Tucson. Since the City Manager is so interested in , I think it will be difficult to justify a raise this year.
The Mayor's current salary is $42,000 and council members receive $24,000. Along with that comes use of a city vehicle (or compensation for using your own), health/medical/dental/life insurance benefits equal to those of full-time city employees, the same retirement benefits as city employees, an office, a staff, and an individual budget. Not too shabby for a part-time job (think about 100 or so days a year).
