Vancouver, Wash. -- The City of Vancouver's Citizen's Commission on Mayor/City Council Salaries (a.k.a. Salary Review Commission) will hold a combined meeting and public hearing at 3 p.m. Monday, March 19.
The meeting and public hearing will take place at Vancouver City Hall, 415 W. 6th St.. Free parking is available for visitors in the building's south visitor parking lot. If this lot is full, paid on-street parking is also available. Visitors should check in with the information desk upon arrival.
The Salary Review Commission was established by a City charter section approved by voters in 1994. Salary reviews are performed every other year to coincide with the City's budget cycle. The commission is comprised of five members of the community who are appointed by the mayor, subject to approval by the Vancouver City Council.
The commission's purpose is to study the relationship of salaries to the duties of the mayor and city council members and to set their salaries. The commission must file the schedule of salaries for the mayor and council members with the City Clerk by May 1, 2017 [CORRECTION: Change to May 1, 2018], for inclusion in the 2019-20 City budget.
The City of Vancouver's downtown area is served by C-TRAN routes 2, 3, 4, 25, 30, 32, 37, 41, 44, 47 and 105 Express. Bus schedules are available at City Hall, the Citizens Service Center, and other public buildings. You may reach C-TRAN at 360-695-0123 for information on times, fares, and routes.
