The Senoia

City Council is expected to decide Monday night whether to raise the salary

of the mayor and council members.

The council

has been debating the issue for several months and has conducted surveys

of neighboring municipalities to determine salary structures.

Earlier this

month, the council recommended changing the mayor's salary from $500 a

month to $1,000 a month and the council members' salary from $100 to $200

a month.

If the council

approves the increase, it would take effect next January after the mayor's

race and two council races are decided in November.

In other news,

the council will:

Examine a

contract with interim Police Chief Julian Campbell and decide whether

to hire him as the new chief.

projects for the fall special purpose local option sales tax vote. The

council is expected to include storm water maintenance and road upgrades

as two of the projects.
