Jackson Council advances pay-raise ordinance to second reading March 16

Jackson Town Council is scheduled to take up a second reading March 16 of Ordinance E, which would amend town code section 2.08.010 governing compensation for the mayor and council, according to the March 16 agenda packet. (Regular Town Council Meeting agenda, March 16, 2026)

Council previously adopted the ordinance on first reading March 2, with no public comment, after a motion by Jonathan Schechter and a second by Alyson Spery; the vote was unanimous. (Town Council proceedings, March 2, 2026 (included in March 16 packet))

The agenda materials available in the March 16 packet do not include the text of the ordinance or the proposed new salary levels. If council advances the item March 16, the next step would typically be a third reading/final adoption at a future regular meeting (subject to council scheduling).
