Bill > HB1425

This bill amends the existing municipal regulations for the City of Red Boiling Springs by increasing the annual salaries of the mayor and city council members. Specifically, the mayor's annual salary will be raised from $5,200 to $18,200, to be paid in monthly installments of up to $1,516.66, while council members will see their annual salary increase from $500 to $1,800, paid in monthly installments of up to $150. The bill includes a provision that allows the city council to set salaries and fringe benefits by ordinance, subject to the Tennessee State Constitution. Additionally, the bill stipulates that these salary changes cannot alter the salary of any incumbent official before the end of their current term. The proposed changes will only take effect if approved by a two-thirds vote of the city's legislative body, and the city's presiding officer must certify the approval or non-approval to the secretary of state. The bill is designed to provide more competitive compensation for local government officials while maintaining constitutional guidelines for salary adjustments.
