News Home More from News of the North Ketchikan City Hall Ketchikan, Alaska (KINY) - An ordinance requested by Ketchikan City Council Member Riley Gass would see the compensation of council members and the mayor reduced. If adopted, the ordinance would reduce the compensation for the mayor and council members by $100 for each regular meeting attended, or create compensation for the mayor and council members at $230 and $200, respectively, per regular meeting. According to Ketchikan City Attorney Mitch Seaver, the reduction would create a savings of $19,200 for the various funds of general government and Ketchikan Public Utilities that support mayor and council compensation.
