Proposed Parkersburg mayoral pay raise tabled

PARKERSBURG - Members of City Council voted Tuesday night to table an ordinance raising the salary for the mayor's position beginning in 2029. More than a dozen people spoke against the proposed increase from $90,000 to $125,000 a year during a public forum that lasted the better part of an hour. Council unanimously voted to extend the forum beyond the 30-minute limit so everyone who signed up to speak could do so. Multiple residents cited the area's per capita and median household incomes - $30,355 and $49,025 for 2020-2024, according to the U.S. Census Bureau - and asked how city officials could justify a $35,000 a year increase. Some said the city was jumping the gun in making a decision that wouldn't take effect for more than two years.
