City Council Compensation

A recent email tread from the Minnesota Mayors group was exploring council compensation levels. I was a little surprised at some of the numbers that different Mayors presented about the Mayor and Council member compensation levels. Simply for comparison sake I wanted to present just some of the responses I saw in this thread.

City Name	Mayor	Council	Per Meeting
St. Joseph	$524	$314	$35
Rushford			$120
Halwey	$500	$400	$50
Royalton			$100
Montrose	$125	$100
Morris	$541	$458
Bock	$524	$314	$35

Council Monthly Compensation Levels
The Mantorville City Council receive $1800 per year and $2000/year for the Mayor. Meetings do not have a stipend for attendance. Since I am not allowed to "Just not accept" my compensation I have normally donated it back to one of our sub groups, the City or one of the 401c3 in town such as the MRA.
