THIBODAUX — Thibodaux’s next mayor and City Council will get pay raises that will cost taxpayers an extra $28,434 a year.
The council voted 4-1 Tuesday for both measures. Councilman Chip Badeaux was the lone vote against the ordinances, which take effect after the 2010 fall elections.
The new measures would raise the mayor’s salary from $68,666 to $82,400 a year, a 20 percent increase; raise the salaries of three district council members from $9,600 to $12,700, a 32 percent increase; and raise the salaries of two at-large council members from $11,400 to $14,100, a 24 percent increase. Mayor Charles Caillouet said the at-large council members are paid more because they represent the entire city.
A report by Slavin Management Consultants said the city’s pay schedules are 13 percent lower than those of similar-sized Louisiana cities, such as Gretna.
The last time salaries were raised was in October 1992.
