The Downers Grove village council voted Tuesday to more than double the salaries of the mayor and elected commissioners. But the pay increases won t take effect until after the next two election cycles in 2023 and 2025.
Each of the six village commissioners currently receive $2,400 a year, and the mayor is paid $4,800 annually. The increased annual salaries will be $10,000 for the mayor and $5,000 for commissioners.
The amended salaries ordinance also allows for annual increases in an amount typical to the raise of village employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements.
