Erie City Council members will see pay raises for the first time in decades beginning in 2024.
The pay hike, if approved in a final vote, would take effect in 2024 for those elected in November 2023; and 2026 for those elected in November 2025.
The budget does not include a property tax increase, but contains garbage and sewer fee hikes expected to collectively generate about $1.8 million.
The sewer rate increase is the city’s first since 2019. Garbage rates were last increased in 2020.
