Councilmembers will get a 4% annual increase since late 2024, taking their pay to $1,730.56 a month, while the Mayor's extra pay drops to $400 a month. It only kicks in after new terms begin following the November 2026 election — and it passed 3-2 over objections from Mayor Hu and Councilmember Morada.
