Former South Pittsburg Mayor Mike Killian
SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. — City officials here have approved pay raises for city commissioners and the mayor after the Nov. 6 elections.
South Pittsburg commissioners at their May meeting voted unanimously to approve Ordinance 730 on final reading. It’s the first pay raise for them since 1990, Mayor Mike Killian said.
The ordinance changes the city’s municipal code dealing with the compensation schedule for city commissioners and the mayor, officials said.
The mayor’s pay will go from $400 to $600 per month. Commissioners’ pay will double, from $200 to $400 per month.
Killian said the board’s move is in anticipation of having at least two new members after the election.
