Winner in the November election could get a 4 percent higher salary, if approved.
If council approves the measure, the person elected as Avon Lake mayor for the 2012-16 term will make $3,300 more per year. Avon Lake’s Human Resource Committee is recommending the position, which now pays $82,500 annually, receive a one-time 4 percent increase starting in January 2012, that will increase the salary to $85,800. The city charter mandates that the mayor’s salary remains the same for the entire four-year term. Avon Lake's next mayoral election is in November 2011. Salary discussions have been going on for months, with recommendations running from no increase to 12 percent, which the city’s human resource director, George Wintermyer, said would put the salary more in line with comparable mayor’s salaries in similar cities (…

Numbers from 0 - 12 percent considered as human resource director notes city's pay is 15 percent lower than surrounding cities.
City Council members continued discussions Jan. 3 to determine whether the position of mayor needs a raise with the general consensus that some raise is needed from the current $82,000 per year. Numbers discussed fluctuated from no raise to a one-time 12 percent increase. Council has until Feb. 1 to determine if the current salary, in place since 2007, should increase for the next mayoral term. Due to charter requirements, only one raise can be issued for the entire term, which means that while almost every other city employee will receive annual step increases, the mayor's position will likely receive one large increase for the first term that will then remain unchanged. The issue was discussed at council's Jan. 3 Human Resource …

Council will decide if current annual pay of $82,000 is enough.
How much the next mayor will make per year -- no matter who actually will occupy the post -- will be decided by city council by Feb. 1. The position pays $82,000, a salary set in 2007. If council decides against an increase, that would make an eight-year stretch with no increase because the pay must be set by Feb. 1 of the year preceding a new mayoral term. Avon Lake will elect a new mayor in 2011, with the term starting in January 2012. At-large councilman Dan Bucci, who heads the city's Human Resource Committee, said it's important for council to consider they are setting a salary for a position, and not a person. "We are not setting (Mayor) K.C. Zuber's salary," he said. Zuber has said he intends to seek re-election. Several other …
