Oakland's mayor may get a pay raise Tuesday despite cuts to services as the city erased its largest budget deficit in its history.
The raise would bring Mayor Sheng Thao's pay in line with the formula established by the Oakland City Charter for calculating the mayor's salary, which the City Council sets. The council must pass an amendment to the city's salary ordinance to give Thao a raise.
"I urge the City Council to set the Mayor's salary at the lowest amount legally required by the City Charter," Thao said in a statement Tuesday morning."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." The two figures represent 70 percent and 90 percent of the average salary of the city managers in six cities with populations like Oakland.
