The City Council officially announced late Thursday that it will hold a public hearing and vote next week on legislation to give all of the city’s elected officials significant salary increases for the first time in a decade.

Salary for Council members who now make $112,500 plus bonuses will increase to $148,500, an increase of $36,000 or 32 percent.

As first reported by POLITICO New York, the raises are tied to specific and significant governmental reforms, including the elimination of outside income, making Council seats full-time positions, and a requirement to publish financial disclosure forms in an online database.

The Council salary raises will, by law, be conditioned upon eliminating stipends for committee chairs and those in leadership positions, Council officials said Thursday.
