Before the Feb. 1 filing deadline for the May 2 primary election, Marietta City Council is providing public notice of future salary amounts for elected City of Marietta offices that are on the ballot and have current term expiration dates of Dec. 31, 2023.
Offices that fall into that category are President of Council and three council-at-large positions; and the Mayor, Auditor and Law Director offices.
The current term for Treasurer does not expire until the end of 2025 and is not on the upcoming ballot. The amounts passed in Ordinance 187 (22-23) at Thursday’s council meeting. In calendar year 2024 the salaries for President of Council and council members will increase to an amount at least equal to the current monthly earnable salary amount established by the Ohio Public Employees Retirement System, so that elected officials will receive full-time service credit for pension purposes. Then, in 2025, pay for those offices once again will be set at the OPERS monthly earnable salary amount, which is yet to be determined.
