SB16 would set Birmingham-area class 1 municipal council salaries to be determined and updated every four years by the median city income, starting with the 2017 term, and would prevent the council from raising those salaries.
Starting with the 2017 term, the annual salary for each member of the city council in a Class 1 municipality is to be set and adjusted every four years by the State Personnel Board, based on the city's median household income and rounded up to the nearest thousand, taking effect January 1 of each new term. The salary amount is the total compensation for the presiding officers and council members beginning with the term after the 2017 municipal election. The city council may not increase, supplement, or otherwise enlarge the salary, and laws that conflict with this act are repealed. The act becomes effective immediately after governor approval.
