City council approves 25 percent raise for aldermen
The council sets aldermen salaries at 15 000 per year starting Jan 1, 1992, with future raises tied to the consumer price index. The proposed 24 000 target was not adopted, and mayoral pay rises were discussed but not fixed. Several motions to table the issue or push larger increases failed or were debated. The restructuring committee suggested options to reach a 24 000 target and alignment with city population changes.
