“As a leader I know this is in the best interest of the City’s fiscal health, and it is also the right thing to do,” Thao said in a statement.
expected to give Mayor Sheng Thao the highest possible salary raise
In a statement Tuesday morning, Thao asked instead for the lowest possible amount required by law: a bump of about $13,000 that would bring her annual salary to roughly $216,000. If the council approves any higher amount, Thao said she would “reject it and refund” the excess money to “deliver services to our neighborhoods.”
Thao is supposed to receive a salary increase due to a longstanding rule in the Oakland City Charter that requires the mayor to receive between 70% and 90% of the salaries earned by the city managers in the “three immediate higher and the three immediate lower cities” by population in California.
