§ 31-4-109 — Compensation and fees of officers

The mayor shall receive such
compensation for his services as the city council, prior to his election, may fix as
provided in this section. The city council, at least as early as the last monthly
meeting before such regular municipal election, shall fix by ordinance the
compensation and fees of members of the city council, including the compensation
of the mayor and councilmen, for the period for which they will be elected or
appointed if any change in said compensation is desirable. The city council shall
neither increase nor diminish the compensation of any councilman or mayor during
his term of office. Each person appointed to fill a vacancy in the office of mayor or
councilman shall receive the same compensation as was established for the office
when the vacancy occurred. All other officers of the city, together with all other
employees of the city, shall receive such compensation as the city council may fix
from time to time by ordinance or as may be established in a pay plan adopted by
ordinance. The city council may from time to time contract for professional services
and for such services pay such fees and charges as may be agreed upon.
