The Sebastian City Council is weighing whether to increase compensation for future council members and the mayor. The discussion comes as the council evaluates pay structures for elected officials who will serve after the current term.
The council held deliberations on the proposed pay adjustments during a meeting this week. The raises under consideration would apply to future members and the mayor, not current officeholders.
Details about the specific amounts of the proposed increases were discussed during the council meeting. The pay changes would take effect for officials elected in future terms.
The council has not yet taken a final vote on the proposal. Sebastian residents who want to weigh in on the pay raises can attend future council meetings when the matter comes up for consideration.
