City Council Pay Raise Proposition
For clarification purposes, Proposition E will allow voters to decide whether their City Council members should be paid an annual salary of $70,200 and the mayor paid an annual salary of $87,000. (See page 14 more information).
These salaries were last changed in 2025, when they were increased to $45,722 for council members and $61,725 for the mayor. These are salaries that were aligned with the average median income of San Antonio at that time. Before then, council members were paid $20 per meeting. The original recommendations, from the Charter Review Commission, were council salaries of $89,000 and mayoral salaries of $95,000 before council members stepped in to call on the raised to be reduced.
