The question, as printed on the ballot

Shall the City of Clyde Charter be amended to (1) delete the existing Council member salary language from Section 3-1; (2) delete the Mayor salary sentence from Section 3-7 and enshrine a Vice Mayor meeting coverage stipend of $100.00 per meeting presided over in the Mayor's absence; and (3) replace Section 3-9 in its entirety to establish Council member base compensation at the OPERS Monthly Minimum multiplied by twelve, with an additional $2,400 annual premium for the Mayor, automatic annual adjustments, per-member delayed implementation for currently serving members, prohibitions on legislative modification of all Council compensation including the Vice Mayor meeting stipend, and codification of the City Manager's wage recommendation authority?

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote amends the charter to set council pay at the OPERS monthly minimum times twelve, add $2,400 a year for the mayor and a $100 vice mayor meeting stipend, with automatic adjustments.

A “No” vote means

A no vote leaves the charter's current council and mayor salary provisions in place.
