After a lot of discussions, the Fishers City Council voted to give itself a 3% pay raise in 2018 in an 8-1 vote, with Councilwoman Selina Stoller the lone dissenting vote. Fishers City Judge Daniel Henke will also see a 3% increase in his pay next year.
Most city employees will see a 5% raise, including 2 elected officials – Mayor Scott Fadness and City Clerk Jennifer Kehl. Council members also gave final approval to the entire 2018 spending plan for the city, totaling more than $103 million.
There were no public comments from council members on their pay raise issue.
