Sec. 21-7. Compensation of officers.
The compensation of all officers shall be by salary. No officer shall be
allowed any fees, perquisites or emoluments or any reward or compensation
aside from his salary, but all fees and earnings of his office or
department shall be paid by him into the city treasury. The city council
shall fix the salaries of all officers, except those who are elected or
appointed for a definite term fixed by statute, in the annual appropriation
ordinance and those salaries shall not be altered during the same fiscal
year. The city council, by ordinance other than the appropriation
ordinance, shall fix the compensation of each officer who is elected or
appointed for a definite term fixed by statute and his salary shall not be
increased or diminished during his term of office. The chairman of the
finance committee of the city council shall receive in addition to his or her
salary as an alderperson such additional compensation, not exceeding $3,500.00
per annum, as may be provided in the annual appropriation ordinance for his or her
services as chairman of said committee.
