Pineville’s City Council is expected to introduce an ordinance pertaining to their pay and that of other officials at today’s monthly meeting.

The resolution is included on the posted agenda.

It doesn’t indicate whether the proposal to amend the existing City Code section is an initial step toward salary changes or housekeeping in the codification process.

If accepted for introduction the ordinance will be bound over for consideration at the August meeting.

Pineville pays its mayor an annual base salary of about $105,500 and council members $12,000.

Audit reports indicate those levels were set in the fiscal year July 2022-June 2023.

The proposed ordinance is to amend and modify salaries for the mayor, city council, and city officials and modify, establish and confirm compensation of the mayor, council, city clerk and police chief.

The mayor and council are authorized under existing code to establish their salary levels from time to time.
