Impact analysis
About $27,436 this year for the staff raises; the council pay measure would cost more only if voters approve it in November.
The city manager, city attorney, and potentially future council members if voters approve the pay increase.
Critics argue older neighborhoods with deferred maintenance and housing voucher participants lose out as funds go to compensation instead.
