Shaker Heights To Set Future City Council Salaries This Week

City council members currently earn $9,000 per year.

Shaker Heights City Council will decide Wednesday how much they should be paid for their service starting in 2016.

City council members currently earn $9,000 per year after they gave themselves a raise in January 2012. Council members previously earned $7,200 annually.

The draft ordinance calls for keeping compensation at the same $9,000 level beginning in 2016, according to a memo from Chief Administrative Officer Jeri E. Chaikin.

The council has to vote now on those future salaries to continue the compensation for the next council terms.

Council meets at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
