DUBLIN — The next time a new City Council is sworn into Dublin, councilmembers will make an extra $183.18 every month, or another $2,198.16 annually.
Other nearby cities that voted to boost council pay this year include Palo Alto, Fremont, Los Altos, San Mateo, Richmond, Hayward, Alameda and more. Richmond, a charter city, agreed to raise councilmembers’ annual salaries a startling 80%, from $27,000 to $47,000. Hernandez’s sentiments were echoed by Councilmembers Jean Josey and Kashef Qaadri, who both heavily supported the raises.
She pointed out to the council that, traditionally, those who serve on Dublin’s council typically “are sitting in a well-paid job” or have a spouse who supports their household income or they are retired and they have a pension and don’t need the council’s income to supplement their time.
