5. Discussion and Action Items  
Aldermanic Compensation  
22-0480  
This item was discussed at the June, 2022 Personnel meeting and the  
committee asked for comparatives to be brought to the next meeting. The  
Ordinance was last changed in 2007 to $260 per month for Alder  
compensation. The comparatives were brought forward and some  
discussion was had on possibly raising the monthly compensation to attract  
more interest in local politics.  
Moved by Sitkiewitz, seconded by Czekala, that this request be approved and  
referred to council to increase the monthly Alder compensation to $450 per  
month and keep everything else the same for the compensation plan for the  
Alders. This increase would start the next time there is an election since this  
increase is based off of terms. The motion carried by the following vote:  
4 - Sitkiewitz, Vanderkin, Czekala and Beeman  
Aye:
