AUSTELL, GA — Elected officials in the City of Austell will not be receiving pay raises, at least for now. During Monday night’s city council meeting, members voted to table an agenda item proposing salary increases for the mayor and city council.
The motion to table the discussion came from Councilman Devon Myrick, who initially introduced the idea. Myrick previously told WSB that the proposal aimed to bring Austell’s elected officials more in line with salaries in other Cobb County municipalities, noting that it has been more than a decade since the mayor and council received a raise.
There is currently no timeline for when, or if, the issue will be brought back for consideration.
