Newark’s City Council agreed to increase their own salaries by more than $30,000 on Tuesday, after voting last month to give the mayor a $50,000 raise.

The measures cap off a series of recent pay boosts for the mayor, his aides and other city administrators.

Council President Mildred Crump will earn $105,000, a 48 percent increase from her $71,000 salary. The other eight members of the council will earn $95,000, up from $64,000.

The increases are retroactive to July 1, 2018.

City Clerk Kenneth Louis, whose salary also increased under a prior ordinance, previously said the new wages for council members rolls their $12,000-$14,000 expense accounts into their base pay and include a cost of living increase. It’s the council’s first salary increase since 2006, he said.

During Tuesday’s morning meeting, five members of the council approved their salary increases without comment. East Ward Councilman Augusto Amador and North Ward Councilman Anibal Ramos both arrived late but told the clerk they wanted to vote “no” on increasing their salaries.

“If you were gong to propose the increases you should make this a full-time job,” Amador told NJ Advance Media. “I don’t believe in the concept of getting paid this much money and at the same time having a job some place else.”

Amador said he does not hold other employment and works full-time as a councilman but on the paper, the position remains part-time.

Ramos, too, said he disagreed with the increases because the council’s responsibilities were part-time “even though many of us invest a lot of hours in our roles.”

The council also approved giving Mayor Ras Baraka the option of receiving an annual $30,000 allowance in lieu of expenses. That would boost Baraka’s annual pay to $210,000. Baraka’s salary was recently raised by 38 percent to $180,000.

Amador voted no on the ordinance; Ramos abstained.

At-Large Councilman Luis Quintana and Central Ward Councilwoman LaMonica McIver were absent.
