  • Mona City Council votes for pay raise


By Myrna Trauntvein

Mona City Council agreed to a raise in pay after Mayor Bryce Lynn made the suggestion that the council should receive an increase.

The increase, which is not large, will be part of the budget the city is now considering for the fiscal year 2003 to 2004, beginning in July.

"We need to have a public meeting which can be held on council meeting night on June 24," said Everd Squire, city treasurer.

Lynn suggested raising the pay of himself, as mayor, and for council members by $15 each month.

Council members will, under the proposal, receive $85 per month and the mayor will receive $100.

The council holds two meetings a month, said Lynn, and the pay has never increased to take that into consideration.

"Maybe, if we increase the pay," said Cory Squire, council member, "there will be some people who will be interested in running for the council this year."
