ANN ARBOR, MI — Ann Arbor’s mayor and City Council ward representatives are in line for pay raises.

The city’s Local Officers Compensation Commission met Monday, Nov. 24, to determine salaries for the city’s elected leaders for the next two years.

Mayor Christopher Taylor currently makes $54,233 per year and that should grow 2.9% each of the next two years, the commission decided in a 4-0 vote.

That would increase the mayor’s pay to $55,805 for the 2026-27 fiscal year starting next July, then $57,423 the following year.

The commission is still working, as it has been for several years, to decrease the pay gap between the mayor and the 10 other council members, who now make 60% of what the mayor makes with their salaries at $32,540.

Their salaries were proposed to stay at the 60% ratio
