Findlay City Council heard the first reading on an ordinance that would give council members a pay raise during their Tuesday meeting. The Courier reports council read the ordinance into the record without discussion. They’ll have readings at their next two meetings before voting on the issue.

An ad hoc council committee recommended a $1,000 pay raise for council members earlier this month. The committee also recommended a $2,000 raise for the city’s treasurer.

Councilman Jeff Wobser introduced a counter-proposal that would delay raises until at least 2020. No one offered a second on the motion so it did not move forward.

Council also held the first reading of an ordinance that would give around 150 non-union, non-elected city employees a 2 percent pay raise next year.
