181 <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox asked if Council is able to approach the issue of their salaries annually, <br />and Mr. Brown said Council could only do it biennially and it would only be effective on <br />July 1 ~t after each municipal election. <br /> <br /> Ms. Richards said she feels the increase is too big when compared to what <br />firefighters are given. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said he feels it should be looked at in the context of having only gotten <br />an increase orS1,00 in 19 years. Mr. Lynch said he feels Council first needs to get some <br />sort of parity. <br /> <br /> Mr. Cox said he does not think it is without precedent to address the inequity of <br />the salary. Mr. Cox made a motion to approve the ord'mance, Mr. Lynch seconded it, and <br />the ordinance entitled "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING AND REORDAINING <br />SECTION 2-40 OF ARTICLE II OF CHAPTER 2 OF THE CHARLOTTESVILLE <br />CITY CODE, 1990, AS AMENDED, TO INCREASE THE SALARIES OF THE <br />MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL" was offered and carried'over to the next meeting for <br />consideration. <br /> <br /> Mr. Lynch said it is clear that none of Council is in it for the money, but he is <br />concerned about the amount of time he can justify working on City issues and taking time <br />away from his own work, noting that he has to pay the bills. Mr. Lynch said Council <br />should also consider who else might want to run for this position, and said he thinks the <br />proposed salary is appropriate. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati suggested that a public hearing be held on the issue at the next <br />meeting. <br /> <br />CONSENT AGENDA <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Toscano, seconded by Mr. Lynch, the following consent <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote.
