The mayor's new annual base salary is approximately $86,500, up from $50,000, and includes a monthly $725 car allowance, bringing total yearly compensation to roughly $95,000. The new compensation plan takes effect in December, according to City spokesperson Jeff Kraus. Councilmember Treasure Ortiz voted against the proposal.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The compensation calculation was based on a suggestion from Councilmember Theodore Sanchez, who noted that the mayor’s salary is tied to the council members’ yearly salary. Sanchez stated that if the council decides to cut its pay, the mayor’s pay will also be dropped. Mayor Helen Tran had originally proposed a salary of about $122,000.
