The Atlanta City Council votes to give themselves, mayor a pay raise in 2026
The Atlanta City Council approved a pay raise for themselves, the council president and the mayor. According to the city ordinance that was amended Monday night, the last time any of them received a pay raise was in 2020. With that said, each council member’s pay will go from $72,630.00 to $99,930.00.
City Council OK’s legislative overhaul of Atlanta’s inspector general
The legislation passed in a 14-1 vote, with Council member Liliana Bakhtiari as the sole opponent. The proposal had gone through weeks of proposed changes by City Council members. Some have been outwardly supportive of a sweeping overhaul of the watchdog’s power while others question the intent of the legislation.
The pay raises were adopted in a motion before the council on Monday evening. They will take effect January 2026.
That’s just one rule on the new “Employee Bill of Rights,” released Friday by Mayor Andre Dickens’ administration in the wake of the city inspector general’s unsurprising resignation on Feb. 17.
