As part of this process, a market analysis of elected official compensation was set as a 2026- 2027 Management Agenda priority. Staff recommended this action following research of how infrequently reviewed or discussed elected officials' compensation is, having last been updated in 2001. Consideration was also given to when these changes would take effect with state law requirements on elected official compensation changes. Under Illinois law, changes in compensation cannot take effect during the existing term of any current elected official. In addition, any change to the compensation or fringe benefits associated with an elected office must be adopted at least 180 days before the general election at which the applicable offices are elected. Members whose terms run from 2023 to 2027 are eligible for a change in their compensation upon the commencement of a new term in 2027. Members whose terms run from 2025 to 2029 would be eligible for a change in their compensation upon the commencement of a new term in 2029, if re-elected. Dhgmmminn Staff subsequently reviewed the annual compensation of mayors/village presidents and alderpersons/trustees in similarly situated communities. Village of Mount Prospect Current Compensation President 5500.00 + 3000 liquor commissioner per year -Village Trustee $2750.00 per year Using a 2001 CPI-U index of 177.1 and a July 2026 CPI-U index of 333.918, cumulative inflation is approximately 88.55%, producing a multiplier of approximately 1.88548. Applied to Mount Prospect's current compensation, the CPI -equivalent amounts are approximately $16,,027 for the Mayor/Liquor Commissioner and $5,185 for each Trustee. Alternatives 1. Pass an ordinance amending Appendix A, Division 1, "Bonds, Salaries, Insurance and Miscellaneous", of the Village Code of Mount Prospect. 2. Action at the discretion of the Village Board. Staff Recommendation Staff recommend a compensation increase as follows to take effect following the 2029 consolidated elections and will increase on an annual basis thereafter at a rate of Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) per year. Village President $10,000.00 + $6,,000 liquor commissioner per year 1 Trustee $6,000.00 per year Attachments 1. Ordinance - Appendix A amendments board compensation red line 2.
