House Bill 1425 amends the salary structure for elected officials in the City of Red Boiling Springs. Specifically, it deletes the existing Section D of Article IV in Chapter 120 of the Private Acts of 1953 and replaces it with new provisions. The bill establishes that the annual salary for the mayor will be no less than $18,200, paid in monthly installments of $1,516.66. Additionally, it allows the city council to set their own salaries and fringe benefits through an ordinance, while ensuring that council members receive a minimum annual salary of $1,800, paid in monthly installments of $150. The mayor and council members are also entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred while performing their official duties, as per the adopted travel and reimbursement ordinance.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will not affect the salary of any current officeholder until the end of their term, in accordance with the Tennessee State Constitution. The act requires a two-thirds vote from the legislative body of the City of Red Boiling Springs for it to take effect, and its approval will be certified by the presiding officer of the city to the secretary of state. The provisions of the act will become effective upon becoming law for the purpose of approval or rejection, while other provisions will take effect as outlined in the bill.
