Proposed Increases for Elyria Officials Rates and Bonuses
Elyria considers extending current base pay for City Council members at 14,500 with annual bonuses for the president, president pro-tem, and committee chairs. Mayor, auditor, and law director would gain 2.5 percent yearly raises, with longevity pay affecting full-time staff but not councilmembers. Some councilors back the plan while others, like Garry Gibbs, oppose it, citing city issues and union concerns.
