Jackson council to vote on pay raise ordinance for next term (Ordinance 1455)

Jackson’s Town Council is scheduled to take up the third (final) reading of Ordinance 1455, an ordinance updating elected-official salaries, at its April 6 regular meeting. The agenda lists the item as “Ordinance E: An Ordinance Updating Council Salaries (Third Reading, to be designated Ordinance 1455).” (Town Council Regular Meeting Agenda)

The idea of revising council compensation first appeared on the March 2 agenda as a first reading of the same “Updating Council Salaries” ordinance, indicating the measure has been moving through the required readings process this spring. (Town Council Regular Meeting Agenda)

The April 6 agenda does not include the ordinance text itself, so details like the exact salary figures, the effective date language, and any findings about fiscal impact are not visible in the posted packet copy in this database. For now, the key actionable point for residents is timing: the council can adopt the ordinance on April 6 if it advances on third reading, and public comment is typically taken on ordinance items during the meeting.
