According to an article in the Miles City Star Mayor Joe Whalen asked the City Council for a 30% raise in his salary from $20,000/year to $26,000/year. The City Council rejected his request and offered a more modest $3,600 raise instead. Apparently the mayor declined that offer.
The office of mayor is an elected position and is considered to be part time.
Voting in favor of the raise were Councilmembers Ackerman, Ahner, and Thibault.
Voting against the raise were Councilmembers Meidinger, Melnik, Partridge, Ronning, and Uden.
Apparently at the same council meeting an effort was also made to eliminate the position of City Grant Administrator but the decision was made to keep the position but express "dissatisfaction with grant writing at the city" to the mayor and suggest "greater supervision in that department".
