CCR2024.055-Alder Expenses Increase.docx
Moved by Alderperson Madden; seconded by Alderperson Schroeder to Approve.

increase compensation and there was no real public discussion on this.

Mayor mentioned that the expenses have been the same since about 2000. It was publicly
discussed at meetings a number of times.
