The Atlantic City Council met Wednesday evening in the Council Chambers at City Hall.

As expected the council approved a resolution “Endorsing the use of Regional TAP (Transportation Alternatives Program grant) Funds for the Schildberg Recreation Area Lake #2 Biking Trail.” The resolution acknowledges the City endorses the trail project, and that with the assistance of the TAP funds, the construction of the multi-use trail will be completed and remain dedicated to public use, and adequately maintained by the City of Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department.

Also the Personnel and Finance Committee reported on a proposed pay raise for the Mayor and Atlantic City Council. The proposal recommends the Mayor’s pay to increase from $8,000 to $10,000 per year. The proposal also includes an increase from $30 to $40 per meeting for City Council members.  That amount would also include committee meetings, which Council members currently receive $20  per meeting for.

Three readings of an ordinance would be required before an official pay increase decision could be made.  The first of those readings is expected soon.
