At the Dodge City Commission meeting on Monday, city commissioners approved a compensation increase for the mayor and commissioners. The last time that the city commissioners compensation was reviewed was in 2001, said city finance director Nicole May. So over the last 20 years as you all know that the time commitment and such required being a city commissioner has significantly increased due to the growth of the community and the number of projects that the city has undertaken.
May said she made the suggestion that the biweekly pay for commissioners increase to $400 and the compensation for mayor increase to $600. Both commissioners and the mayor had been receiving $200 biweekly.
