After more than two hours of discussion, the majority of the Park City Council came to a consensus on where councilmember and mayor pay should land.
The council approved an ordinance in May to more than double councilmember and mayor salaries, but after weeks of community criticism, the council decided to revisit raises.
Councilmembers Molly Miller, Tana Toly and Diego Zegara argued for the top end of the salary range staff recommended, or almost $38,000.
Toly compared the council to their Summit County peers, who earn $70,000 per year. Miller was concerned the salary would limit who could run for office.
The majority of the council agreed to an increase of about 18% Thursday, June 11. At that rate, councilmember salaries will rise from nearly $29,000 to over $34,000. The mayor’s salary will increase from more than $55,000 to almost $66,000.
