City of Sebastian Charter Amendment — City Council Compensation Adjustment
Sebastian city, Florida
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Raises Sebastian council pay by $300 a month, with future raises matching those for other city staff. Taxpayers would fund about $18,000 more in yearly pay, plus future raises, with no new tax.
Proposed by: Sebastian City Council (Ordinance O-26-19, July 8, 2026)
The city's elected council acted on its Charter Review Committee's proposals. A city charter is the city's rulebook. Florida law says city voters must approve any change to it.
