Council Stipends Annual Adjustments 
Background
• Town Code and ARS 9-232.01 allow for the Council to 
approve increased compensation by resolution
• The Town Council typically approves a Town staff pay 
adjustment through the annual budget process. 
• However, the Council stipends have not received annual adjustments.
• The Council held conversations on this subject during the 
June 17, 2025, regular meeting and the September 9, 2025, 
work session
• Several Councilmembers expressed interest in aligning annual Council pay 
adjustments with Town staff pay adjustments

Council Base Stipends – Resolution 2025-43
• Resolution 2025-43 introduces the idea of aligning 
annual increases between Council stipends and annual
Town staff pay adjustments:
• Beginning with the Fiscal Year 2028, Council stipends would be 
increased by the same percentage as Council approved salary 
adjustments for employees
