The Concord City Council is considering giving itself a pay raise, the first time it’s done so since 2018.
The proposed raise is 3 percent, taking council members’ salaries from $1,352 per month to $1,433 per month.
A city ordinance has to be amended and the new rate wouldn’t take effect until after the November 2022 city council election.
The Concord City Council will meet virtually at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday. The meeting can be viewed at https://bit.ly/350cTWs.
do they get other benefits?
Medical?
Dental?
Vision?
PERKS?
Perks? In fact they have a Keurig.
Hey that’s 5% below the current inflation rate. And most those folks likely voted for Joe. They obviously don’t know how upside down they are. Perhaps they think they can make it up in volume!
However we all know, and we are stuck with the 8% hit. Thanks Joe, and our families thank you for a more expensive and dangerous life experience.
And how much money is wasted on elections for these people so the can get $1,400 a month?

So many small business crushed. So many lost their houses. So many without healthcare of any kind. Gasoline jumping daily. Children with out a basic education… Is a raise moral?
So. Were they forced to take the jab and all of the boosters?
Since they’re a city council in California they support abolishing the electoral college in favor of the pure popular vote (direct democracy).
In a direct democracy the people vote on everything, by these city councils own ideology their raises should be put to a vote.
Oh wait, they only want a direct democracy when they can steal and lie their way to victory otherwise they love their powers of representation. Buncha putin and xi wannabes “While the people suffer we get more money”. They’d fit well in Russia and China or the old Soviet Union.
Seems inappropriate and may show how out of touch the council is with the world around them. Similarly so are raises in property taxes, license fees, etc at this time. Let the economy re-establish itself and then ask for a raise. Constituents aren’t bottomless ATMs.
You can get a raise for being a clown? Who knew?
Well…. Maybe they do need a raise…
Have Ya’ checked the price of Clown Shoes; Lately???????
Can we fill the potholes first? Wtf
Telling people that they need a raise is a great way to try and hide the enormous bribes they take.
Crying poor all the way to the bank.
I guess Seeno didn’t pay enough bribe money when he bought the weapons depot contract..
Honestly, that’s exactly the sort of thing that paying the city council well should discourage.
Of course they do…they all need to go up to & all county supervisors as well.
.. in the first place they shouldn’t have the power or control to give themselves a raise! how dumb is that!?
I know this isn’t a popular view, but I’m fine with the pay hike. Paying politicians well means that being an elected official isn’t limited to folks who are subject to undue influence of people with deep pockets.

Your naïveté is astounding.
First fix the roads. Use the money from from your raises to do something about the homeless problem. Races are based on productivity. What productivity does the Concord city council have?
Wait. I thought they were handsomely paid from all the back door deals they have going on. Concord to the highest bidder. Isn’t that our city motto?
Everyone is focused on this “salary” but no one is paying attention to their benefits package, the perks… the Discretionary funds…
That’s the real question. How much is that…?
rumor has it. they have a keurig
I kinda miss the old coffee percolators we used way back when.
Some of you probably don’t even know what it is! or was…

Dr. J…… I have 3 Perc’s…. Use a Perc… more than my drip or press
And when camping….. The best…………
So???? What is the percentage are the workers getting? You know the people that actually do the work, People like clerks, janitors, groundskeepers etc? Yeah I know the ridiculous argument “there are more of hem than there ae of council people”. Yeah same argument the BoS gave when they gave themselds a 60% and 33% raise.

Could not have said it better. We need to clean house with all these folks they are as bad as any SOROS bought politician. They all pander to get votes and stay in office while not doing what they should for the citizens who pay taxes. Stop the greenie-socialist-woke crap. We are watching. You should have not taken a penny more as you are always telling us taxpayers how much money is not there and you keep screwing us to come up with more.
Meanwhile still meeting virtually making it impossible for public interaction.
They need to open the city up to the public. Why is the police lobby still closed to the public? Very convenient to shutter government while it dictates.
Open it up!
