The EOCC reviewed internal economic and financial documents, and the current salary and benefit compensation packages of the Mayor, City Clerk, and members of the City Council. In addition, the EOCC compared various salary structures held by similar officers in comparable communities across Michigan and neighboring States. The following people attended the Commission meetings to answer questions and share their thoughts; Elizabeth O'Leary, Jane DiSessa,Judy Kehler,Desiree Kirkland, and Chris Swope. Our determination is based on the National and State economic climate, the current financial condition of the City, our review of executive and legislative responsibilities, and salary/benefit comparisons with other Michigan communities. The Commission considered the compensation history for all relevant positions going back as far as 1991, and considered the feedback from various executive officers and City staff. Determination In considering comparable municipalities for City Council salaries, the City of Lansing is one of the highest. Therefore,the Commission has determined not to make any changes to the salaries for the City Council Members, City Council President or City Council Vice President in this determination. 2 FrinIze Benefits The Commission adopts by reference the Elected Officials Summary of Fringe Benefits 2022, attached. The benefits are to be provided for the elected officials as set forth therein.

The intention of this change is to comply with Public Act 152 of 2011, which capped the amount the City can pay for healthcare premiums. This change will provide elected officers the same coverage employees are provided. Pursuant to the 2017 EOCC recommendation, Council members may purchase health care at their own expense.
