To: City Administration Committee
From: Dan Cogan, Chief of Staff
Date: March 12, 2019
Re: Common Council and Mayor’s Salary Comparison
Following the discussion at the February 2019 City Administration Committee meeting on
whether and how much to increase Common Council salaries, I conducted some research
into the salaries of elected officials in other municipalities. I used publicly available
information and examined the Town of Ithaca, Tompkins County, and the cities of
Syracuse and Rochester. See attached table for comparison.
Common Council
Of the five municipalities, Ithaca Common Council members receive the lowest annual
salary, at $10,141 per year. However, when salary is calculated per 1,000 residents, City of
Ithaca Common Council members receive the second highest annual salary after Town
board members. By the same token, if the total legislative salary per 1,000 residents is
calculated for each city (adding the salaries of all the members of the legislative body),
residents of the City of Ithaca pay the second highest of the five municipalities examined.
Of course, it is difficult to compare the demands of the different municipalities’ citizens,
though it is well know that Ithaca residents are a relatively engaged citizenry; and
furthermore, stakeholders in the City include many who live outside city limits.
It is worth noting that in Syracuse and Rochester, there are dedicated staff who work for
the legislatures. Syracuse has four dedicated employees for the nine member Common
Council, and Rochester has 3.8 FTEs dedicated to their nine member City Council.1
I also examined whether Common Council salaries have kept pace with inflation. In 1992
Common Council salaries were $6,000. Had salaries increased with inflation, using the CPI
1 Syracuse has 1 legislative aide, one administrative officer, and two secretaries to Common Council.
Rochester has 1 chief of staff, 1 legislative analyst, 0.3 legislative assistants, 1 secretary, and 0.5 receptionists
for their City Council. See information for Syracuse and Rochester on attached sheets.
for the Northeast Region, current salaries would be 84% higher, or $11,019 per year.
Similarly, 2008 Common Council salaries were $9,641. If salaries had increased with
inflation, current salaries would be 19% higher, or $11,437 per year. See salary history,
attached.
Mayor
The Mayor of Ithaca makes $58,561 per year, as compared to $115,000 for the Mayor of
Syracuse and $145,800 for the Mayor of Rochester. The Town of Ithaca Supervisor makes
$57,400 per year.
When calculated as salary per 1,000 residents, the Mayor of Ithaca is paid more than in
Syracuse or Rochester, but less than the Town of Ithaca Supervisor. As noted earlier, it is
difficult to compare the demands of the different municipalities’ populations. It is also
worth noting that the Syracuse Mayor’s office has nine employees in addition to the Mayor
while the Rochester Mayor’s office has twelve employees in addition to the Mayor. In
Ithaca there are only two employees in addition to the Mayor. 2
Regarding the effects of inflation, in 1992 the Mayor’s salary was $32,000. Had it increased
with inflation, the current salary would be $58,768 per year. Similarly, the Mayor’s salary
in 2008 was $53,561. If the salary had increased with inflation, the current salary would be
$63,538 per year.
