(KLZA)--Beginning in December, the Humboldt Mayor and City Council members will receive a pay raise.

Council members approved the second of two proposals for a pay increase during the March 20th City Council meeting.

Currently, the Mayor of Humboldt receives $1,050 annually and Council members are paid $525 per year.

A motion by Council person Dolores Martinez to increase the Mayor compensation to $3-thousand annually and the Council members annual pay to $2-thousand failed on a vote of 3-2. Martinez and Stacey Edmundson voted in favor of the increase with Council members Doris DeJonge, and Dean Bogle voting no. Mayor Crystal Dunekacke broke the tie casting a nay vote.

Council member Bogle made a motion to increase the pay for the Mayor at $150 per month which would be an annual total of $1,800 and Council members compensation at $100 per month beginning December 4th. The motion was approved on a 3-1 vote with Council member DeJonge casting the nay vote.

The new compensation amounts will go into effect with the seating of the next Council in December of this year.
