Give Your Say On Everett Elected’s Pay

Time again for the folks who make up the Citizens Commission on Salaries of Elected Officials in Everett to get public input on the pay of the Mayor, seven city council members and two municipal court judges.

Currently the Mayor makes a little over $14,000.00 a month, City Council makes $2338.00 per month and a Municipal Court Judge makes about $12,400.00 a month.

The commission meets every other year. The first of two public input sessions happens tomorrow, Thursday, March 16, at 4 p.m., in the Mayor’s Conference Room, located on the 10th floor of the Wall Street Building, at 2930 Wetmore Ave.

Although all meetings are open to the public, the comment period will only occur during the two public hearings. The second public hearing will take place on Thursday, April 20th.

The Commission is charged with reviewing and establishing the salaries of the City’s elected officials and is required to complete its work by the first week in May.

Members of the commission this year are…

Angie Sievers
Art Thomson
Bobby Thompson
Chris Adams
John Dickson
Kevin Sylvester
Tony Anthonissen

Here is a link to the last salary schedule approved in 2015.

The Commission gathered for the very first time in January 1997 as a result of a recommendation by the Everett Charter Review Committee and subsequent approval of voters in the November 1996 general election.
