MEMORANDUM
To: Personnel Committee
From: Brian Rollefson, Human Resources Director
Re: Mayor Salary Ordinance
Date: September 9, 2025
The purpose of this memorandum is to present General Ordinance No. 18-25 to the Personnel Committee
for review and recommendation to the Common Council. This ordinance amends Section 2-83 of the Green
Bay Municipal Code relating to the Mayor’s salary and revises the salary schedule previously approved by
the Personnel Committee on June 17, 2025, and by the Common Council on June 24, 2025.
Summary of Ordinance
The ordinance sets a revised future salary schedule for the Mayor of the City of Green Bay, effective at the
start of the future mayoral term:
• April 2027 term start: $128,547.
• After the 2027-2031 term, the above amount will be adjusted by a percentage equal to the combined
four (4) annual percentage changes calculated for City employees in the previous four (4) years
and shall be effective each year of the start of the mayoral term.
Per state law and city code, salaries for the Mayor cannot be changed during a current term of office; these
adjustments apply only at the start of the specified future terms.
Background
The salary schedule above differs from the schedule approved at the June 17, 2025 Personnel Committee
meeting and the June 24, 2025 Common Council meeting in accordance with Wis Stat 66.0507: Elected
official salary schedules cannot include an automatic adjustment (including the upwards and downwards
fluctuation in the cost of living).
Recommendation
We recommend approval of General Ordinance No. 18-25 as drafted.
GENERAL ORDINANCE NO. 18-25
AN ORDINANCE

amount shall be adjusted by a percentage equal to the combined four (4) annual percentage
changes calculated for City employees in the previous four (4) years rounded to the nearest
whole percentage, and shall be effective the second pay period in April of each year of the
start of the mayoral term.
