This amendment is co-sponsored by Council Members Chopra, Piedmont-Smith, and Sturbaum and sets the increase in the City Clerk's salary for 2017 at 5% rather than the 2% increase allocated to other elected officials. This proposed higher increase is due to a preliminary review of city clerk salaries in other Class 2 cities in the State of Indiana. The amendment further requires that the City Human Resources department will contract with a compensation professional to conduct an independent review of the salaries of the Common Council and City Clerk and provide a report of the findings to the City Council in time for development of the 2018 salary ordinance for elected officials.
