Loveland, Ohio – Last night City Council heard the first reading of an ordinance amending salaries for Loveland’s elected officials. Under the language of the proposed ordinance, no council member can receive the raise while in their current term. To benefit from the raise, a current member of Council must go through a future election process.
Council is expected to vote on the proposal at their next regular meeting on November 26.
The last adjustments to council member pay were approved on October 27, 2009 and compensation has been flat since December 2015.
Proposed is an increase of $400 per year for each council member role effective January 2026, and a $100 yearly increase from 2027 until 2031.
Currently, members of Council are compensated $5,700 per year for their service. The Vice Mayor is paid $6,135 and the Mayor is paid $6,570 per year.
Under the Ordinance, beginning January 1, 2026, the annual salaries will be:
Council Members: $6,100.00 and a $100 yearly increase from 2027 until 2031 (From Current $5,700 )
Vice Mayor: $6,535.00 and a $100 yearly increase from 2027 until 2031 (From Current $6,135 )
Mayor: $6,970.00 and a $100 yearly increase from 2027 until 2031 (From Current $6,570 )
